Turkey in the Straw
Traditionnal and Dan Bryant
Song : B
D7 G
Well, I had an old hen and she had a wooden leg,
D7
Just the best old hen that ever laid and egg,
G
She laid more eggs than any hen on the farm,
D7 G
But another little drink wouldn't do her any harm.
Chorus :
G
Turkey in the hay, in the hay, hay, hay!
C
Turkey in the straw, in the straw, straw, straw!
G D7
Pick 'em up, shake 'em up, any way at all,
G D7 G
And hit up a tune called 'Turkey in the Straw'.
D7 G
Well, I hitched up the wagon and I drove down the road,
D7
With a two horse wagon and a four horse load,
G
Well I cracked my whip and the lead horse sprung,
D7 G
And I said "Goodbye" to the wagon tongue.
G
Turkey in the hay, in the hay, hay, hay!
C
Turkey in the straw, in the straw, straw, straw!
G D7
Pick 'em up, shake 'em up, any way at all,
G D7 G
And hit up a tune called 'Turkey in the Straw'.
D7 G
Well, if frogs had wings and snakes had hair,
D7
And automobiles went flyin' thro' the air,
G
Well, if watermelons grew on a huckleberry vine,
D7 G
We'd still have winter in the summer time.
G
Turkey in the hay, in the hay, hay, hay!
C
Turkey in the straw, in the straw, straw, straw!
G D7
Pick 'em up, shake 'em up, any way at all,
G D7 G
And hit up a tune called 'Turkey in the Straw'.
D7 G
Oh, I went out to milk and I didn't know how,
D7
I milked an old goat instead of a cow,
G
A monkey sittin' there on a pile of straw,
D7 G
A-winkin' his eyes at his mother-in-law.
G
Turkey in the hay, in the hay, hay, hay!
C
Turkey in the straw, in the straw, straw, straw!
G D7
Pick 'em up, shake 'em up, any way at all,
G D7 G
And hit up a tune called 'Turkey in the Straw'.
D7 G
Well, I come to the river and I couldn't get across,
D7
So I paid five dollars for an old blind horse,
G
Well, he wouldn't go ahead and he wouldn't stand still,
D7 G
So he went up and down like an old saw mill.
G
Turkey in the hay, in the hay, hay, hay!
C
Turkey in the straw, in the straw, straw, straw!
G D7
Pick 'em up, shake 'em up, any way at all,
G D7 G
And hit up a tune called 'Turkey in the Straw'.
