Lyrics

Came to the river and I couldn't get across Paid five dollars for an old blind horse Wouldn't go ahead, nor he wouldn't stand still So he went up and down like an oldsawmill Turkeyin the straw,turkey in thehay Roll 'em up and twist 'em up a high tuckahaw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw 0 I jumped in the seat, and I gave a little yell The horses run away, broke the wagon all to hell; Sugar in the gourd and honey in the horn I never was so happy since the hour I was born Turkey in the straw, turkey in the hay Roll 'em up and twist 'em up a high tuckahaw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw Said the tooler to the driller, "Will you dance me a jig?" "O yes, by golly, if I tear down the rig." So he took down the wrench that the contractor stole And he danced a jig around the ten-inch hole Turkey in the straw, turkey in the hay Roll 'em up and twist 'em up a high tuckahaw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw
