Well the cowboy promoted the weddin you know Between the songs on his rock and roll show The groom was thin and the bride was a tease They courted to the sound of his latest release They both were members of the backup crew The thin man a thinkin them corn cob blues Well the rain came down and the crowd was slow And the cowboy hollered and he stubbed his toe Signs on trees from here to town Hurricane Apple couldnt knock them down The thin man stands in a waterlogged shoes And a keeps on thinkin them corn cob blues Well the cowboy sweats and he walks the aisle Watchin his money in a sticky pile He tears his napkin there at the gate He promoted the weddin for two weeks straight The thin man looks while the law comes through And he keeps on studyin them corn cob blues Well the bride sits there and she looks at the star A hound dog licks his trusty guitar The drummer tunes to the key of G The fiddle player works for free While scrapin old popcorn off a his shoes The thin man hums them corn cob blues You might also likeMama makes the coffee boil Its just as thick as crankcase oil The cowboy sends her a kiss and a flower He drinks ten cups every quarter hour The thin man wonders if hes addin booze And he whistles out loud them corn cob blues Well brother got mad at the skinny one And the cowboy too for all of his fun So brother talked to the bride back stage And he talked of love in a white hot rage The thin man wondered if her love hed lose And he wrote another verse to the corn cob blues Well the thin man smoked and he looked at his knees And he wondered if the crowd would all be pleased When the sun comes up on another day And he and the bride were far away He didnt think the cowboyd ever get through So he could lose them corn cob blues
