Shuckin  the corn  shuckin the corn
You  ain’t done a thing since the  day you were born
 You just lay around the shade allday
 Shuckin the corn
Talkin’  down your  fellow man,
Ain’t  no way to fill your  fryin pan.
You  ought to shut your mouth
 Instead of shuckin  corn
How  you gonna get down to Georgia?
 How you gonna get down to  Georgia?
 Them box cars are full of rock coal son,
 The box cars are full of rock coal
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  fryin pan.
 You ought to shut your mouth son
 Instead of shuckin  corn *]
Now  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
Now  how you make the boss man cross now?
 How you make the boss man cross?
 Shuck another bushel on the ground boy.
 Just shuck 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’ thecorn
Aww  were talkin bout gossip  now children
Talkin’  down your fellow  man,
Ain’t  no way to fill your  fryin pan.
 You ought to shut your mouth son
 Instead of shuckincorn alright
*]
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
 Aww 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  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 fryin pan
 You ought to shut your mouth man
 Instead of shuckin that corn
 Just a  shuckin that  corn
 Just ashuckin  that corn
 You’ve gotta  shut your  mouth
 Awww yeah
