The Lyrics

Corn for Silage

Get your combine runnin'.
You ain't mowing high hay.
Just ignore that scent, sir,
Coming from manure bay.

Make sure that your blades are sharpened,
'Cause you're going to be cutting maize.
Fire up that big diesel and hump it—
This job will take days.

That blue smoke is stiflin'.
Heavy metal sunders
Maize. . .like shavin' skin—
You have got acres to plunder.

Make sure that your blades are sharpened,
'Cause you're going to be cutting maize.
Fire up that big diesel and hump it—
This job will take days.

This rig gets bad mileage,
We cut corn, corn for silage
It's grown so high 'n'
Chop it up for the kine.

[Repeat verses 1, 2, 5]

Corn for silage,
Corn for silage.
