The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn

[00:37.27] Tell you a little story and it won't take long
[00:46.75] About a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn
[00:55.84] The reason why I never could tell
[01:04.71] For that young man was always well
[01:10.15]
[01:16.35] He planted his corn in the month of June
[01:25.70] By July, it was up to his eyes
[01:35.28] Come September, came a big frost
[01:44.36] And all the young man's corn was lost
[01:50.06]
[02:14.88] His courtship had just begun
[02:21.44] Said, "Young man, have you hoed some corn?"
[02:26.58] "Well, I tried and I tried, and I tried in vain
[02:33.72] But I don't believe I raised good grain"
[02:37.15]
[02:58.05] He went down town to his neighbour's door
[03:05.06] Where he had often been before
[03:10.21] Sayin', "Pretty little miss, will you marry me?
[03:17.45] Little miss, what do you say?"
[03:20.82]
[03:41.25] "Why do you come for me to wed?
[03:47.93] You, can't even make your own corn grain"
[03:53.58] "Single I am, and will remain"
[04:00.44] A lazy man, I won't maintain
[04:08.59] He turned his back and walked away
[04:17.02] Sayin', "Little miss, you'll rue the day
[04:23.64] You'll rue the day that you were born
[04:32.58] For givin' me the devil 'cause I wouldn't hoe corn"
[04:37.85]
