Shucking the Corn

Shuckin' the corn

Shuckin' the corn

You ain't done a thing since the day you were born

You just lay around the shade all day

Shuckin' the corn

Talkin' down your fellow man

Ain't no way to fill your frying pan

You ought to shut your mouth

Instead of, shuckin' the corn

How you gonna get down to Georgia

Them box cars are full of rock coal son

The box

Who's gonna meet you at the station

Tell me, who's gonna meet you at the station

My baby and a bottle of wine joe

My baby and a bottle of wine

Shuckin' the corn

Shuckin' the corn

You ain't done a thing since the day you were born

You just lay around the shade all day

Shuckin' the corn

Talkin' down your fellow man

Ain't no way to fill your frying pan

You ought to shut your mouth son

Instead of, shuckin' the corn

How you make the boss man smile child

How you make the boss man smile

Lay another bushel on the pile son

Lay another bushel on the pile

How you make the boss man cross now

How you make the boss man cross

Chuck another bushel on the ground boy

Chuck another bushel on the ground

Shuckin' the corn

Shuckin' the corn

You ain't done a thing since the day you were born

You just lay around the shade all day

Shuckin' the corn

Talkin' about gossip children

Talkin' down your fellow man

Ain't no way to fill your frying pan

You ought to shut your mouth son

Instead of, shuckin' the corn

Now don't you give me no wedding ring boy

Don't you give me no wedding ring

It's heavy like a ball and chain man

It's heavy like a ball and chain

(This is what he told me, he said)

Don't you give me no wedding ring baby

Don't you give me no wedding ring

They say it's heavy like a ball and chain son

It's heavy like a ball and chain

Shuckin' the corn

Shuckin' the corn

You barely done a thing since the day you were born

You just lay around the shade all day

Shuckin' the corn

Talkin' down your fellow man

Ain't no way to fill your frying pan

Now you ought to shut your mouth man

Instead of, shuckin' the corn, just shuckin' that corn, shuckin' that corn

You got to shut your mouth
