Joe Diffie - 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 bu*ter 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
