Alison Krauss & Union Station - 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."...
