A colleague has asked me about the meaning of "A high tuck-a-haw" in
the lyrics of the song "Turkey in the Straw." Would anyone know?
The relevant verse is:
Turkey in the straw,
Turkey in the straw,
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw.
Also, what does "Roll 'em up and twist 'em up" refer to?
