Lyrics The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn - Alison Krauss & Union Station
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."
