_ As I was a-gwine down the road With a tired cream [F] and a heavy [Bb] load
I cracked my whip and a-did a strung The old boys busted the wagon down
I looped, loop, loop, loop, loop, loop, loop, loop
Went out to milk and I didn't know how [Eb] I milked a goat instead of a cow
[Bb] A monkey's neck and a pile of straw I went in at his mother-in-law
Turkey in the straw, hee-haw [Eb] Turkey in the hay, hee-haw
I [Bb] took the man, turned him out [F] to hide Turkey [Eb] farm
I hooked him up [Bb] a tune called Turkey in the Straw
Turkey in the mud, hee-haw [Eb] New Year's turkey, hee-haw
[Bb] I took the man, turned him out to hide Turkey farm
I hooked him up a tune called Turkey in the Straw _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Whistle
_ [N] Oh yes indeed I know that a nigger do love [Ab] turkey _ _
_ [N] And I know that a coon do love chicken
Oh but give that coon some possum That's what he wants in hog-chicken
_ Giving _ that possum with gravy running down its back
Will make a nigger wink his lip pulling the slack
[G] Hee [F]-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, [Bb] [Ab] hee-haw
Oh as [Bb] I was a-grinding down the road I met Mr.
Chopper [F] and I met Miss [Bb] Toad
Every time Mr.
Chopper would [N] sing See that old toad cut the pigeon wing
A-loop, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot
[Bb] Way down here in the wind I took a [Eb] loop I took him to battle with the [Bb] kangaroo
I sat down and fought him till [N] the head cracked down
I hushed it up a bit and I took another round
A turkey in the straw
A [Eb] turkey in the [N] hay
A tricky man's tale about a high telephone
A hook and a platoon called turkey in the [Bb] straw
A turkey in the mud
_ [Eb] New York sunny
[N] A tricky man's tale about a high telephone
A hook and a platoon called turkey in the [Bb] straw _ _ _ _ _ _
