 Cornhusk Mama This simple child of golden grain Find her dancing in the rain Her baby bear, a child’s delight Find her dancing in the night Cornhusk mama, sing your song Cornhusk dolly, step along In your quiet, gentle, ways Softly, softly, your skirts sway You nod your head in refrain Simple child of golden grain Cornhusk mama, sing your song Cornhusk dolly, step along Tatted lace beneath your feet Would you smile in gentle greet? Will your skirts in wind blow free? Will you often think of me? Cornhusk mama, sing your song Cornhusk dolly, step along. |

There is a sadness in this joy, and a joy in this sadness. |

I love this rhythm. I can see a little kid jumping rope to its rhythm. Thanks, this was sweet. "Cornhusk mamma, take your time We'll be waiting for your next rhyme." SimplyGold |
