Shuckin' Corn Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

I was barely past the stage of baby bottles 

At an age when little legs first start to toddle 

When my pa saw I could stand, he thought I would be a man 

Once I got the feel of blisters on my hands 

Shuckin' corn, shuckin' corn, shuckin' corn, shuckin' corn 

From early morning until dusk we stripped away the blades of husk 

Shuckin' corn shuckin' corn 

I stood right along beside my two big brothers 

And it got so we depended on each other 

There was little time for fun underneath the summer sun 

And it seemed to me like work was never done shuckin' corn, shuckin' corn 

Through the years this life of mine has kind mellowed 

I'm the father of a bright eyed little fellow 

You ain't seen a closer pair he goes with me everywhere 

And you can bet your boots he'll always do his share 

Shuckin' corn, shuckin' corn...
