Track Lyrics
Down on the Corner Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Verse 2]
Rooster hits the washboard, and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
[Chorus]
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
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
Poorboy Shuffle Lyrics
[laughter]
Hey!
[Instrumental]
Feelin’ Blue Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, look over yonder out in the rain
Soaking wet fever in my brain
Now, I ain't certain which way to go
But I got to move, sure
[Chorus]
Feeling blue, blue, blue, blue, blue [x3]
I'm feeling blue. I'm feeling blue
[Verse 2]
Hey, look over yonder behind the wall
They're closing in I'm about to fall
Now I'm no coward, but I ain't no fool
Feel it in my bones, my book is due
[Chorus]
Hey, look over yonder, up in the tree
There's a rope hanging just for me
Without a warning, without a warning
Things are piling up to break me down
[Chorus]
Hey, look over yonder, out in the street
People laughing by, walking easy
Now, I'm no sinner, but I ain't no saint
If it's happy, you can say I ain't
[Chorus]
I'm Feeling blue [x6]
Effigy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last night
I saw a fire burning on
The palace lawn
O'er the land
The humble subjects watched in mixed
Emotion
[Chorus]
Who is burning?
Who is burning?
Effigy
Who is burning?
Who is burning?
Effigy
[Verse 2]
Last night
I saw the fire spreading to
The palace door
Silent majority
Weren't keeping quiet
Anymore
[Chorus]
Who is burning?
Who is burning?
Effigy
Who is burning?
Who is burning?
Effigy
[Verse 3]
Last night
I saw the fire spreading to
The country side
In the morning
Few were left to watch
The ashes die
[Chorus]
Who is burning?
Who is burning?
Effigy
Who is burning?
Who is burning?
Effigy
[Outro]
Why?
Why?
Why?
Effigy
