AS I WAS GOING 
DOWN THE ROAD 
TIRED TEAM 

AND A HEAVY LOAD 
I CRACKED MY WHIP 
AND THE LEADER SPRUNG 
I SAYS GOODBYE 

TO THE WAGON TONGUE 
TURKEY IN THE STRAW 
TURKEY IN THE HAY 
ROLL 'EM UP 

TWIST 'EM UP 
A HIGH TUCKAHAW 
AND HIT UP A TUNE 
CALLED 

TURKEY IN THE STRAW 
4 BAR 
BREAK 


OH I HAD 
A LITTLE CHICKEN 
AND HE WOULD'NT 
LAY AN EGG 

SO I POURED HOT WATER 
UP AND DOWN HIS LEG 
AND THE 
LITTLE CHICKEN CRIED 

AND THE 
LITTLE CHICKEN BEGGED 
AND THE DARN 
LITTLE CHICKEN 

LAID A HARD BOILED EGG 
TURKEY IN THE STRAW 
TURKEY IN THE HAY 
ROLL 'EM UP 

TWIST 'EM UP 
A HIGH TUCKAHAW 
AND HIT UP A TUNE 
CALLED 

TURKEY IN THE STRAW
