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 (ha-ha-ha)
Turkey in the straw (he-he-he)
Roll'em up and twist'em up
A high tuck
a-haw
And hit'em up a tune called
Turkey in the straw
I came to the river and I couldn't get across
So
I paid five dollars for a big bay hoss
Well, he wouldn't go ahead and he
wouldn't stand still
So he went up and down like an old saw mill
Repeat Chorus
Did you ever go fishin' on a warm summer day
When
all the fish were swimmin' in the bay
With their hands in their pockets
and their pockets in their pants
Did you ever see a fishie do the
Hootchy-Kootchy dance?
Repeat Chorus
