Side A: Down On The Corner
(J. Fogerty)
(J. Fogerty)
Early in the evenin'
Just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse
They're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner
Trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and
He blows it on the harp
Down on the corner, Out in the street
Willy And The Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Rooster hits the washboard and
People just got to smile
Blinky thumbs his gut bass
And solos for a while
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out
On his kalamazoo, Willy goes into a dance
and doubles on kazoo.
Down on the corner, Out in the street
Willy And The Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
You don't need a penny
just to hang around.
But if you got a nickel
won't you lay your money down.
Over on the corner
there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.
Down on the corner, Out in the street
Willy And The Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
FORTUNATE SON
Some folks
are born
Made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays
"Hail to the Chief"
They point the cannon at you.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one.
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one.
Some folks inheret star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
and when you ask them
"How much should we give?"
The only answer "More! more! more!"
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no millitary son.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one.
