About

At the backyard hootenanny when the Folksmen reunite in A Mighty Wind, they break into this faux-medieval stomper. It is included on the DVD of the film. The full version of the song appeared for the first time on Harry Shearer’s solo album, Songs Pointed & Pointless.

Corn Wine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A young man goes-a courtin'
With just one thing in mind
It's hey-nonny-no-nonny-ninny-o
A good time for to find

A young girl goes a-flirtin'
With just one tale to tell
It's hey-nonny-no-nonny-ninny-o
A man to wed her well

[Chorus]
Consider the corn, consider the wine
One has a day when it's in its prime
The other takes years to be sturdy and fine
If only the two could just combine
Corn wine
Corn wine

[Verse 2]
A husband starts a-workin'
At the rosy crack of dawn
Then it's hey-nonny-no-nonny-ninny-o
He comes home and mows the lawn

A mother gives her children
The things she never had
Then it's hey-nonny-no-nonny-ninny-o
Then all they miss is Dad

[Chorus]
Consider the corn, consider the wine
One's in a hurry, the other takes time
One's on a stalk, the other's on a vine
If only the two could intertwine
Corn wine
Corn wine

[Verse 3]
An old man sits wonderin'
About the game his life has played
It's hey-nonny-no-nonny-ninny-o
He needs both nurse and maid

An old woman sits tendin'
To the one she's loved so long
It's hey-nonny-no-nonny-ninny-o
And an ending to this song

[Chorus]
Consider the corn, consider the wine
One's has a day when it's in its prime
The other takes years to be sturdy and fine
If only the two could just combine
Corn wine (corn wine)
Corn wine (corn wine)
Corn wine
