I've transcribed a version of Lynchburg Town from a tape of American shanties which is quite different from the version here on the database. But there's one word or phrase I can't figure out. Can anyone help?

Whiskey by the jug, boys
Sugar by the sack.
Gonna tote them down to Lynchburg Town
Push my eye-corn back.

Eye-corn?? What might this really be? Thanks for any help on this.

Michi
