Verse:

Down at old McPherson's farm, Once I had a good time. Well! I danced all evening, Didn't spend a dime.

Well! I danced with Sally Jane and with my old mother'n law, To that tune called "Turkey In The Straw."

 

Chorus:

Come on you fiddler, Fiddle away. "Turkey In The Straw" 'Til the break of day.

No one here now cares to roam, For as long as you're a playin', we ain't goin' home.
