What you gonna do when the corn's layed by, Sugar Babe?

What you gonna do when the corn's layed by?
         D            E          A
Lay in the shade and look at the sky,
                                           E         A
That's what we'll do when the corn's layed by, Sugar Babe.

What you gonna do when the meal gives out, Sugar Babe?
What you gonna do when the meal gives out, Sugar Babe?
What you gonna do when the meal gives out?
We'll go a visiting round and about,
That's what we'll do when the meal gives out, Sugar Babe.

What you gonna do when the meat's all gone, Sugar Babe?
What you gonna do when the meat's all gone, Sugar Babe?
What you gonna do when the meat's all gone?
Sit in the kitchen and gnaw on a bone,
That's what we'll do when the meat's all gone, Sugar Babe.

What you gonna do when your shoes get thin, Sugar Babe?
What you gonna do when your shoes get thin, Sugar Babe?
What you gonna do when your shoes get thin?
You can do the work, and I'll stay in,
That's what we'll do when your shoes get thin, Sugar Babe.

What you gonna do when the weather gets cold, Sugar Babe?
What you gonna do when the weather gets cold, Sugar Babe?
What you gonna do when the weather gets cold?
Do like a ground hog, hunt me a hole,
That's what we'll do when the weather gets cold, Sugar Babe.
