Hot Corn, Cold Corn

Chorus
Hot corn, cold corn, bring along a demijohn
Hot corn, cold corn, bring along a demijohn
Hot corn, cold corn, bring along a demijohn
Fare thee well Uncle Bill, see you in the morning, yes sir

Upstairs, downstairs, out in the kitchen,... (x3)
See Uncle Bill, just a-rarin' and a-pitching, yes sir

Old Aunt Peggy won't you fill 'em up again,... (x3)
Ain't had a drink since I don't know when, yes sir

Yonder come the preacher and the children are crying,... (x3)
Chickens all a-runnin' and the toenails a-flying, yes sir
