"Are you going to the shucking?
Are you going to the shucking?
Are you going to the shucking of the corn?"

"Yes, I's going to the shucking.
Yes, I's going to the shucking.
Yes, I's going to the shucking of the corn, sure's you born."

"I's staying 'til tomorrow.
I's staying 'til tomorrow.
I's staying 'til the breaking of the dawn, sure's you born."
