The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn

Tell you 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
 
 But 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 courtship 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 downtown to his neighbor's door
 He had often been before
 Said, "Pretty little miss, will you marry me?
 Little miss what do you say?"
 ♪
 "Why do you come for me to wed?
 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 rue the day
 You'll rue the day that you were born
 For givin' me the devil 'cause I wouldn't hoe corn"
