Corn

CORN   By Kicking Jacksie! ©Jack Bryson Bowden, Time Bomb Publishing BMI

 

CHORUS:

Corn, eating corn

Corn in the evening corn in the morn’

Corn when you’re happy, corn when you’re forlorn

I was born, born to eat corn

 

Corn on the cob you can eat it like a slob

Eat it if you’re Betty or if your name is Bob

I gotta go to work but while I’m on the job

I’ll be thinking ‘bout corn on the cob

 

(CHORUS)

 

I like to eat corn when I’m sitting on a log

I can eat corn while I’m talking to my dog

I like to eat corn from dusk till dawn

I can eat corn while I’m singing a song about …

 

(CHORUS)

 

Great big piles of fresh cooked corn

Eat it with your hands, you don’t need a plate

Chompin’ till Gabriel blows his horn

Then we’ll celebrate with …

 

(CHORUS)

 

Everybody ought to be good to each other

Have another ear of corn

Realize we’re all sisters and brothers

Have another ear of corn

 

(CHORUS)

 

Forget about your borders and your power and your greed

Fresh sweet corn is all that you need

Forget about political affiliations

Corn brings peace to all the nations

 

(CHORUS)

 

Going Once, Going Twice, I’m Gone

Going Once, Going Twice, I’m Gone:

You’ve had so many chances to love me my darlin’

And so many times you turned me down

Honey this will be the last time I lay my heart on the table

You don’t want me so I won’t be hangin’ round

 

I just wish I could find a way to get her to bid higher

I know that she once loved me but the years have quenched the fire

Sold to the lady who ain’t got time to live me

Going once, going twice, I’m gone

Going once, going twice, I’m gone

 

Well I never learned to hold out, I guess I ain’t no gambler

But she always seemed to come back home to me

Yeah we never talk about it so I just live without it

And the only love I’ll know is in my dreams

 

I just wish I could find a way to get her to bid higher

I know that she once loved me but the years have quenched the fire

Sold to the lady who ain’t got time to live me

Going once, going twice, I’m gone

Going once, going twice, I’m gone

Must Make Money

Must Make Money

Well I’ve heard it said by romantic fools you can live on love and love alone

That don’t put beans on your plate or pay the price of a high class date

It wouldn’t satisfy the woman I’m thinking of, A woman these days needs more than love

 

I Must make money, Must make money  Must make money , Must make money

If I ain’t got money can’t have a little honey Ain’t funny, I need money

 

Well I got more than my share of friends and we get together every now and then

I’d like to invite them all to my place but that run down shack would be a disgrace

Wish I could afford those fancy frills I can’t even pay my utility bills

 

I Must make money, Must make money  Must make money , Must make money

If I ain’t got money can’t have a little honey Ain’t funny, I need money

 

I’ve always dreamed of owning some land where me and my baby could make our stand

Go south in the winter, sailing in the summer had no idea life would be such a bummer

Only land I own is the sand in my shoes Lord have mercy I’ve paid my dues

 

I Must make money, Must make money  Must make money , Must make money

If I ain’t got money can’t have a little honey Ain’t funny, I need money

D                               C          G

More than my friend you are my destiny

 

VERSE 1:

C

You give me everything I need;

D

you give me everything I’ve always wanted

 

(CHORUS)

 

VERSE 2

Woke up with you… this morning

Feet on the floor, half out the door

You pulled me back and gave me more, more, more, now

in my heart… I’m  yearning

No matter what life puts me through

It just gets better when I’m here with you –

 

(CHORUS)

 

C                              D      G                       D

Was a time you’d never find any strings on me

C              G                          D

Didn’t want to be tied down

C                  D             G                        D

But it’s alright, like a kite I’m flying high and free

C                         D

Way up off the ground

 

(CHORUS)

1                                                          5

Girl do you remember when you first met me?

4                                                           1

You said you loved me cause I was so wild and free

1                                                        5

We had more fun together than the law will allow

4                                                      1

So why you want to put me in this old corral?

5                                          4                  1

I’m a wild stallion and I like to run free

      1                                                           2-    6-     5

So keep it moving if you want to run with me

               5                                                 4                    1

We can go out dancing we can wander and roam

        1                                                                    b7   4       1   

But baby there’s no way we’re gonna just stay home

 

Some folks are like a tree they like their roots down deep

Some are like the wind they don’t have time to sleep

My mornings are lazy and my nights are long

Don’t you try to change me ‘cause there ain’t nothing wrong

 

CHORUS

 

               4

We can drive to the ocean if we get the notion

            1

or for goodness sake we can jump in the lake

4

Go out walking ‘neath the stars above

2                                          5

Baby what a night to reignite our love

 

Girl I’ll always love you and you’re my best friend

There’s no need to worry ‘bout where I’ve been

We need a change of scenery and I’ll tell you what

I think it’s time for us to climb out of this rut

CHORUS

NEW VERSE:

She told me why you roll me out and cut me down?

You’re not the only hoss who wants to paint the town

So better put your boots on boy cause talk is cheap

I’m out the gate so good luck keeping up with me

 

Cause I’m a wild filly …..
