Turkey In The Straw
Old-time tune in G major
Module 9 — Bonus tune
You may remember this as a summer camp song “Do Your Ears Hang Low?”
Though it’s usually considered an American tune, the melody may be of European origin. O’Neill’s Music of Ireland has a version with a Celtic feel. I did follow up lessons on adding American style variation and Irish style variation.

Hi Marcos, there is a full audio under the full tabs. Thanks for asking!
Why isn’t there any full audio of the song?? Only the chunks. Would be nice to have the full track somewhere so I could play the whole thing with audio.
Hi Marcos, there is a full audio underneath the full tabs. Please let me know if you still don’t see it. Thanks for asking!
I can’t access the sheet music for this one. I have a subscription.
Hi Lori, I see you have an active subscription as well. I will email you to discuss further. Thanks for your patience.
