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 127837,-836)

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 297882,-748)

"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 "
