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

For that young man was always well

He planted his corn in the month of June

And 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 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 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
