Turkey In The Straw

As I was a-goin’ down the road

With a tired team and a heavy load

I cracked my whip and the leader sprung

I says day-day to the wagon tongue

Chorus:

Turkey in the straw Turkey in the hay

Turkey in the straw, turkey in the hay

Roll ‘em up and twist ‘em up a high tuckashaw

And twist ‘em up a tune called Turkey in the straw

Went out to milk and 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

Chorus:

Turkey in the straw…

Met Mr. Catfish comin down the stream

Says Mr. Catfish “what does you mean”?

Caught Mr. Catfish by the snout

And turned Mr. Catfish wrong side out

Chorus:

Turkey in the straw…

Came to a river I couldn’t get across

Paid five dollars for a blind old hoss

Wouldn’t go ahead nor he wouldn’t stand still

So he went up and down like an old saw mill

Chorus:

Turkey in the straw…

As I came down the new cut road

Met Mr. Bullfrog, met Miss Toad

And every time Miss Toad would sing

Old Bullfrog cut a pigeon wing

Chorus:

Turkey in the straw

Oh I jumped in the seat and I gave a little yell

The horses ran away,. Broke the wagon all to hell

Sugar in the gourd and honey in the horn

I never been so happy since the day I was born

Chorus:

Turkey in the straw…
