From CCR's 1969 Willy and the Poor Boys album. This John Fogerty composition reached #3. Great tune with a great rhythm. Something a folkie can cover from a rock band. If you cannot hear Willy and the Poor Boys you can listen to this video. Lyrics: Early in the evenin' just about supper time, Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind. Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up. Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp. Down On The Corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'; Bring a nickel; tap your feet. Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile, Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while. Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo. Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo. Down On The Corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'; Bring a nickel; tap your feet. Down On The Corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'; Bring a nickel; tap your feet. You don't need a penny just to hang around, But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down? Over on the corner there's a happy noise. People come from all around to watch the magic boy. Down On The Corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poor boys are playin'; Bring a nickel; tap your feet. @jackstrawvibes

This one is about as old as dirt! And if not that old at least the early 1800's. It has been done with many variations and various lyrics. This one can put the corn in corny! Got to love it! Turkey in the straw, haw, haw, haw... Speaking of 'in the straw' (no pun intended)...there was this girl in Wisconsin she really like to roll around in straw with me and...Oops! forgot this was a kid's show. I mean, we used to like to stroll along the waterside hand in hand when the Harvest Moon shone bright. (You adults can go figure what we did in the straw! Haw haw haw!) Mmmm....I still like sody pop! Lyrics: As I was a-goin' down a hot dusty road With a tired team and a heavy load I cracked my whip and the leader sprung I says day-day in the wagon tongue. Turkey in the straw, haw, haw, haw Turkey in the hay, hay, hay, hay Roll 'em up and pad 'em down anyway at all, Play ya a little tune called 'Turkey in the Straw' I come to the river but I couldn't get across So I paid five dollars for a blind ole hoss Well, he wouldn't go forward and he couldn't stand still So he went up and down like an old sawmill Went out to milk but I didn't know how I milked the goat instead of the cow A monkey sittin' on a pile of straw A-winkin' at his mother-in-law I jump in the seat and give a little yell The horses ran away bust the wagon all to hell It's sugar in the gourd and honey in horn Never been so happy since the day I was born @jackstrawvibes

Chicken Fried is the hit single that put the Zac Brown Band on top of the Billboard Hot Country chart. Originally written in 2003 by Zac Brown and Wyatt Durrette, this feel-good country anthem was first recorded in 2003. It was later re-recorded and released in 2008 on their album The Foundation. From my basement recordings collect made in June of 2013. Yea, it took a while to get to me but I was overseas at the time... Oh just for the record, I released it on YouTube exactly 11 years & 1 min after recording the take. So you could say it was to the minute. Lyrics: You know I like my chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia pine And that's home you know Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine Where the peaches grow And my house it's not much to talk about But it's filled with love that's grown in southern ground And a little bit of chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I like to the sunrise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love Well its funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most Not where you live or what you drive or the price tag on your clothes There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I've come to know So if you agree have a drink with me Raise you glasses for a toast To a little bit of chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I like to the sunrise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love I thank god for my life And for the stars and stripes May freedom forever fly, let it ring. Salute the ones who died The ones that give their lives so we don't have to sacrifice All the things we love Like our chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I like to the sunrise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love @jackstrawvibes
