Down on the Corner – Creedence Clearwater Revival CCR acoustic guitar & harmonica (Jack Straw cover)

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.
