Thread Name: Jimmy Crack Corn - Man or Myth
Subject: RE: Jimmy Crack Corn - Man or Myth
Here's another take from the net: The Civil War song, Jimmy Cracked Corn, was one of Abe Lincoln's favorite songs! However, in the song, Jimmy wasn't really cracking corn. He was sleeping, and "cracking corn" was another term for snoring.
