the boy who wouldn't hoe corn (live) - alison krauss & union station 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 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 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.”…
