Additional info/contents Diese amerikanische Square Dance Melodie wurde zum ersten Mal von Bob Farrell im Bowery Theatre in New York am 11. August 1834 aufgeführt. Es gelangte schnell nach Amerika, wurde von den Garelling Minstrel Companies gesungen und etablierte sich zu einem festen Favoriten. Es hatte viele Titel und Textsätze. "Turkey in the Straw" erzählt von einer Reihe von Missgeschicken, die einem Fuhrmann widerfahren, als er verschiedene Gestalten trifft, darunter eine Ziege, einen Affen, einen Wels, eine Bulldogge und eine Kröte. Die Lösung für seine Probleme ist jedoch ganz einfach: "Rollt sie auf, dreht sie hoch und spielt ihnen ein Lied, das "Turkey in the Straw" heißt!".

This American square dance tune was first performed by Bob Farrell in the Bowery Theatre, New York on August 11th 1834. It quickly crossed America, sung by the Garelling Minstrel companies and became established as a firm favourite. It has had many titles and sets of lyrics. 'Turkey in the Straw' tells of a series of disasters which befall a wagon driver as he meets various characters, including a goat, a monkey, a catfish, a bulldog and toad. His solution to his problems is, however, quite straightforward: "Roll 'em up and twist 'em up a high tuck-a haw, and hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw!".
