Here is one nonsense song that is very popular among people of every race, whether it is white or blacks. The source of the song was said to be singer and guitarist Asa Martina, which came from Estill County, Ky., with accompaniment sometimes from Doc Roberts. There is another version by Talley which we seem to be from tradition, but one of the most prominent versions you would find is that perform by Flatt and Scruggs.

There are versions like that of African American collector, Thomas Talley, and it was in his Negro folk rhymes. Talley's version marked the first time that the song was appearing in print under the title "Bring on your hot corn."

"
Hot corn, cold corn, bring along a demijohn
Hot corn, cold corn, bring along a demijohn
Hot corn, cold corn, bring along a demijohn
Fare thee well, Uncle Bill, see you in the morning, Yes sir
Upstairs, downstairs, down in the Kitchen
Upstairs, downstairs, do...em up again, Yes sir

Old Aunt Peggy won't you fill 'em up again
Old Aunt Peggy won't you fill 'em up again
Old Aunt Peggy won't you fill 'em up again
Ain't had a drink since I don't know when, Yes sir

Yonder comes the preacher and the children are a-crying
Yonder comes the preacher and the children are a-crying
Yonder comes the preacher and the children are a-crying
Chickens are a-hollering, toenails a-flying, Yes sir
