*Not the first or last song about Turkey in the Straw* As I was A-goin' down the road With a tired team and a heavy load I felt the smack and saw the leader sprung Said he meant today In the wagon tongue 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 He went out to milk and didn't know how Couldn't even milk the goat Instead of the cow Just a turkey In a pile of straw A-winkin' his eyes at my mother-in-law! 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 He came to the river and couldn't get across So he paid five dollars For an old blind hoss Well He wouldn't go ahead Nor he wouldn't stand still So they went up and down like an old saw mill! 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 Then the turkey Got into the mash Staggered 'round But cheated the crash Danced a jig with a wild raccoon Now they’re howlin’ drunk at the harvest moon! 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 Got an amplified sound Metal strings real tight Gonna pick all day, gonna shred all night Moonshine flowin' Distortion kept raw A modern twist on Turkey in the Straw! Turkey in the straw? (Turkey in the straw!) Turkey in the hay? (Turkey in the hay!) Pick it up fast pick it up raw Ain't nothin' like The sound of Turkey in the Straw!
