Turkey In The Straw lyrics
Song information
Artist: Bill Monroe Album: Bluegrass Time
Lyrics
Well, I had an old hen and she had a wooden leg Just the best old hen that ever laid and egg She laid more eggs than any hen on the farm But another little drink wouldn't do her any harm
Chorus Turkey in the hay, in the hay, hay, hay! Turkey in the straw, in the straw, straw, straw! Pick 'em up, shake 'em up, any way at all And hit up a tune called 'turkey in the straw'
Well, I hitched up the wagon and I drove down the road With a two horse wagon and a four horse load Well I cracked my whip and the lead horse sprung And I said "goodbye" to the wagon tongue
Chorus
Well, if frogs had wings and snakes had hair And automobiles went flyin' thro' the air Well, if watermelons grew on a huckleberry vine We'd still have winter in the summer time
Chorus
Oh, I went out to milk and I didn't know how I milked an old goat instead of a cow A monkey sittin' there on a pile of straw A-winkin' his eyes at his mother-in-law
Chorus
Well, I come to the river and I couldn't get across So I paid five dollars for an old blind horse Well, he wouldn't go ahead and he wouldn't stand still So he went up and down like an old saw mill
Chorus
