Tall Cornstalk Lyrics

Three foot tall and growing steady
They won't pick me 'til they know I am ready
I'm gonna be a tall cornstalk

I've had the good sunshine all day
I've had the rain to wash my face
I'm gonna be a tall cornstalk

Row by row, husk by husk
It's the farmer in the morning and the crows at dusk
Hope that you watches where it was
'Cause a lifetime's short for a tall cornstalk

I ain't alone here in this ground
Got lots of friends all gathered 'round
We're gonna be some tall cornstalks

Last week we had an awful storm
We lost a row of ending corn
We're gonna be some tall cornstalks
Row by row, husk by husk
It's the farmer in the morning and the crows at dusk
Hope that you watches where it was
'Cause a lifetime's short for a tall cornstalk

Makes me shake, it makes me shudder
When I think of salt and butter
I'm gonna be a tall cornstalk

We thank the Lord for one small favor
That farmer started by and told the caper
I'm gonna be a tall cornstalk

Row by row, husk by husk
It's the farmer in the morning and the crows at dusk
Hope that you watches where it was
'Cause a lifetime's short for a tall cornstalk

Yeah, a lifetime's short for a tall cornstalk
