Down On The Corner

Early in the evening, just about supper time. Over by the courthouse, things startin' to unwind. Pockets on the corner, tryin' to bring you up. Billy picks the guitar out, a half-life song the Hop. Down on the corner, out in the street. Hear them poor boys play, bring the niggers Out to beat. First people start to smile. Blink inside the juke joint, saw a square a While. Poor boys playin' rhythm out, Oh, hey, it's gonna be do. Billy tells them to dance, darlin' lookin' good. Down on the corner, Out in the street. Hear them poor boys play, bring the niggers out To beat. All right. Down on the corner, out in the street. Hear them poor boys play, bring the niggers out To beat. Mm. You don't need to be mean, just to hang Around. But if you want a nigger, you got money To drown. Pockets on the corner, There's happy noise. People come from all around to where the music Rolls. Down on the corner, out in the street. Hear them poor boys play, bring the niggers out To beat. Down on the corner, out in the Street. Hear them poor boys play, Bring the niggers out beat. All right. Down on the corner, Out in the street. Hear them poor boys play, bring the niggers out To beat. Everybody. Down on the corner, Out in the street. Hear them poor boys play, bring the niggers out Beat. Mm. Down on the corner, out in the Street. Hear them poor boys play, Bring the niggers out to beat. All right. Down on the corner
