Hot corn cold corn bring along the demijohn (x3) Fare thee well Uncle Bill see you in the morning yes sir

Well it’s upstairs downstairs out in the kitchen (x3) See you Uncle Bill just a raring and a pitching yes sir Well it’s old Aunt Peggy won’t you fill ’em up again (x3) Ain’t had a drink since the lord knows when yes sir Well yonder comes the preacher and the children are a crying (x3) Chickens a running and the toenails a flying yes sir
