Lyrics Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs - Turkey in the straw

8-8 7 7 7 5 6 6 6
A-s I was go-ing down the road

7 -8 8 8 8-8 7 -8 8 -8 -8
with a tir-ed te-am and a heav-y load

8-8 7 7 7 5 -5 6 6 6
I cracked my whip and the lead-er sprung

7-8 8 9 9 7 -8 8 -8 7
I said good-bye to the wa-gon tongue.

8 9 9 8 9 9 9 9
Tur-key in the straw, haw, haw, haw.

-9 -10 -10 -9 -10 -10 -10 -10
Tur-key in the hay, hay, hay, hay.

10 10 10 10 9 9 9
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up

9 8 8 7 -8
a high tuck-e-haw,

7 -8 8 9 9 -10 9 8 7 -8
A-nd hit 'em up a tu-ne cal-led

8 7 -8 -7 7
Tur-key In The Straw.
