My husband and I were at a jam the other night and were introduced to the tune "Sheep Shell Corn by the Rattlin' of his Horn." What an outrageous title! Does this have any words anyone knows of?

Thanks for help!

There's only the one verse that I know:

never seen the like since I been born sheep shells corn by the rattlin' of his horn (2X)

then you play it through a couple times, then you sing the verse again, then you play it through a couple times more. I think the original source is Emmitt Lundy of Galax, VA
