Description:

Down on the Corner is a song by American band Creedence Clearwater Revival. It was on their 1969 album Willy and the Poor Boys (the group's fourth album). The song chronicles the tale of the fictional band Willy and the Poor Boys and how they play on street corners to cheer people up and ask for nickels. The song is not autobiographical. The song has a washboard on it ("Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile") and it also has a gut bass ("Blinky thumbs the gut bass and he solos for a while"). In a 1969 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, the band performed the song as "Willy and the Poor Boys"—Stu Cook played a gut washtub bass and Doug Clifford strummed a washboard, just as the band appears on the album cover.
