If Jimmy cracks corn, and no one cares, why is there a song about it?

i believe that someone cares somewhere, just not the particular person who sang the song who obviously either has a problem with corn cracking or just jimmy himself, as a person.....

Poor jimmy

I grew up on this song, the Burl Ives version.


I've always thought it was derived from Gimme crack corn, and that crack corn, or cracked corn, was some part of the process of making cheap liquor. So "give me some moonshine and I forget how cruel my (shortly-to-be-defunct) master is.


Probably pure invention on my part.

It's a message given by the FBI and the CIA. Used to decipher messages sent between agents to infiltrate drugs barons , hit squads and money launderers. The sillier the song , the more that normal people won't sing it , thereby only true agents will be able to communicate , knowing that !


Listen closely to the Abraham Zapruder footage of JFK's death and you can hear it coming from the Grassy knoll behind him.


If you hear it sung at all .... take cover .. if you are armed.. then shoot the singer !


Nurse ... Nurse .... can i have the bedpan please ?
