Down On The Corner (Red Boot 298) Ralph Trout

OPENER - BREAK - CLOSER

Sides Face Grand Square
*Early in the evenin´, just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse they´re starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
Allemande left & Weave the ring
Down on the corner, out in the street
Swing that lady and you Promenade her too
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet

FIGURE

Heads Dosado and then Square thru my friend
(Sides face Grand Square)
Heads cloverleaf and then walk in and Pass thru
Heads cloverleaf again and walk right in
Heads you Square thru three quarters round now
Swing the corner and Promenade the town
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet

TAG

Willy and the poor boys are playing, bring a nickel, tap your feet

ALTERNATIVE LYRICS

*Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor boys twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
Billy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
*You don´t need a penny just to hang around
But, if you´ve got a nickel, won´t you lay your money down
Over on the corner there´s a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boys.
