The Boy Who Wouldn t Hoe Corn lyrics
Tell You a little story and it won t take long,
Bout a lazy farmer who wouldn t hoe his corn.
The reason why I never could tell,
That young man was always well.
He planted his corn in the month of June.
By July it was up to his eyes.
Come September, came a big frost.
And all the young man s corn was lost.
His story, kith, had just begun.
Said: "Young man, have you hoed some corn?"
"Well I tried and I tried, and I tried in vain.
"But I don t believe I raised no grain."
He went down town to his neighbour s door.
Where he had often been before.
Sayin : "Pretty little miss, will you marry me?"
"Little miss what do you say?"
"Why do you come for me to wed?
"You, can t even make your own corn grain.
"Single I am, and will remain.
"A lazy man, I won t maintain."
He turned his back and walked away.
Sayin: "Little miss, you ll rue the day.
"You ll rue the day that you were born.
"For givin me the devil cos I wouldn t hoe corn."
