The Corn Bandit

[Verse] In the town at dawn Sneaky John moves on Takes the corn away Before the break of day [Verse 2] People wake and sigh Not a kernel by Hearts are feeling small John has taken all [Chorus] Oh John where'd you go Took the corn and stole the show Left us in despair Empty fields everywhere [Verse 3] Children start to weep Dreams of corn they keep Mothers shake their heads Tears on beds they shed [Chorus] Oh John where'd you go Took the corn and stole the show Left us in despair Empty fields everywhere [Bridge] If we catch him right In the middle of the night We will guard our gold Keep our hearts from cold
