Jim Crack Corn. A slave song' date=' about being whipped and being made to plow the fields or possibly make ale/wine/beer. Nobody cared because at the time he was a slave. Or so it looks that way.

And that is why we teach our children to sing it ^_\\\

 

Someone cared...they are just too cool to admit it.

[align=center]If Jimmy cracked corn' date=' and nobody cared, why is there a song about it?

 

If nobody cared, why do we know the person that was cracking corn? Why do we even know a person was cracking said corn?[/b'][/align]

 

Um someone cared.

Or this is totaly ridiculous but, Some one saw a corn cob cracked apart and a guy named Jim was stading next to it.

My thought:

It is a song Jimmy himself would write. He was doing his job, as nobody seemed to care. When a person has this happen, they may want to pass the time by singing. However, there are times that a person is at the same time slightly agitated. So he could be singing a slightly agitated song about himself.

:D

 

Course, that makes all the FUN of the thread go away DX
