Oh I went out to milk but I didn't know how, milked a horse instead of a cow
Old red rooster hopping on one leg, laughed so hard he layed an egg
Turkey in the straw, ha ha ha
Turkey in the hay, hey hey hey
Roll 'em up twist 'em up a high tuck a-ha
Strikin' up a tune called Turkey in the straw
Old poor stubborn mule wouldn't turn around, I ploughed a ten mile ditch all the way to town
I ploughed it back to the old farm house, scarying that mule with a little grey mouse
Turkey in the straw, ha ha ha
Turkey in the hay, hey hey hey
Roll 'em up twist 'em up a high tuck a-ha
Strikin' up a tune called Turkey in the straw
I was ridin' young Buck, tryin' to teach that horse some common sense, Buck got mad and kicked me through the fence,
Now the cows are in the corn and the pigs are in the wheat, and no one has a blessed thing to eat
Turkey in the straw, ha ha ha
Turkey in the hay, hey hey hey
Roll 'em up twist 'em up a high tuck a-ha
Strikin' up a tune called Turkey in the straw
Well I hitched up the wagon and drove down the road, with a two horse wagon and a four horse load,
When I cracked my whip the lead horse sprung, then I said "goodbye" to the wagon tongue
Turkey in the straw, ha ha ha
Turkey in the hay, hey hey hey
Roll 'em up twist 'em up a high tuck a-ha
Strikin' up a tune called Turkey in the straw
