Verse:
Down at old McPherson's farm, Once I had a good tim, 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.
