Krauss Alison - The Boy Who Couldn't Hoe Corn lyrics

tell you little story and it won't take long

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 mans corn was lost

his cornship 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 one grain

he went downtown to his neighbors door

he had often been before

said pretty little miss will you marry me

little miss what do you see?

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

sayn little miss you woo the day

you woo the day that you were born

for givin me the devil cause i wouldn't hoe corn
