In his _Singing the Master_ (1992), Roger Abrahams comments,

Songs with the same refrains and tunes as corn shuckings are found in cotton-loading and hoeing songs and sea shanties (including the songs above, "Ju-ran-zie," "Long Time Ago," and "It Rain, Boy, It Rain." (pg120)

Elsewhere Abrahams states that the following song is a version of the sea chantey "Reuben Ranzo"...

The song, from a corn shucking, comes in

Chenault, John Cabell and Jonathan Truman Dorris. _Old Cane Springs: A Story of the War Between the States in Madison County, Kentucky_. Louisville, KY: Standard Print Co., 1937.

pg.47

//
Old marster shot a wild goose

A hundred vices answered from all parts of the field and each mangrabbed a stalk for shucking.

Ju-ran-zie, hio ho.
It wuz seben years fallin'

The multitude of voices cried out as at first—

Ju-ran-zie, hio ho.

It was seben years cookin'.
        Ju-ran-zie, hio ho.

A knife couldn't cut it.
        Ju-ran-zie, hio ho.

A fork couldn't stick it.
        Ju-ran-zie, hio ho.

There was great harmony and perfect concord, although the men were scattered.

The "wild goose" in conjunction with "Ranzo" (?) is notable here.
