As I was a-goin' On down the road With a tired team And a heavy load I cracked my whip And the leader sprung I says day-day To the wagon tongue
    
Turkey in the straw Turkey in the straw Roll 'em up and twist 'em up A high tuck a-haw And twist 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw
Went out to milk And I didn't know how I milked the goat Instead of the cow A monkey sittin' On a pile of straw A winkin' at His mother-in-law
    
Turkey in the straw Turkey in the straw Roll 'em up and twist 'em up A high tuck a-haw And twist 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw
I came to the river And I couldn't get across So I paid five dollars For a old blind hoss Well, he wouldn't go ahead And he wouldn't stand still So he went up and down Like an old saw mill
    
Turkey in the straw Turkey in the straw Roll 'em up and twist 'em up A high tuck a-haw And twist 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw Did you ever go fishin' On a warm summer day When all the fish Were swimmin' in the bay With their hands in their pockets And their pockets in their pants Did you ever see a fishie Do the Hootchy-Kootchy Dance?
    
Turkey in the straw Turkey in the straw Roll 'em up and twist 'em up A high tuck a-haw And twist 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw
