THE BOY WHO WOULDN'T HOE CORN

DAN TYMINSKI

Tonalité :

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 there came a big frost

And all the young man's corn was lost

His courtship had just begun

Said young man, "Have you hauled some corn ?"

"Well I tried and I tried and I tried in vain,

But I don't believe I raised one grain."

Well he went down town to his neighbor'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 cornbread

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

Givin me the devil cause I wouldn't hoe corn."
