—Onie Wheeler
Ol' John's got a farm right next to mine.
Yeah we've been neighbors a long long time.
Daytime ol' John never comes around,
but I've seen his footprints on my ground.
Chorus
Ol' John's got a woman but he wants mine too,
He's always looking for something new.
There's a monkey in the woodpile sure as you're born,
I think ol' John's a been a shuckin' my corn.
John's big bare feet's like an I.O.U.,
When he stepped in the barn where he oughten to.
That's how I know they're a courtin' in the barn,
I think ol' John's a been a shuckin' my corn.
Chorus
Ol' John's got a woman but he wants mine too,
There just ain't nothing old John won't do,
There's tracks in the wood pile and out in the barn.
I think ol' John's a been a shuckin' my corn.
Gonna climb in the barn loft so I can see,
And I'll take me a bottle so I won't go to sleep.
I'll Catch ol' John and my woman there,
'Cause I've seen cornsilks in her hair.
Chorus
Ol John's got a woman but he wants mine too,
he's always looking for something new,
and I'm gonna catch 'em out here in the barn.
I'll whoop ol' John for a shuckin' my corn.
