The Boy Who Wouldnt Hoe Corn

Dm                                
Tell you a little story and it 
        Bb
won't take long
C                                 
'Bout a lazy farmer who wouldn't 
       Dm
hoe his corn
Dm                           Bb
The reason why I never could tell
C                         Dm
That young man was always well


[Verse 2]
Dm                                
He planted his corn in the month 
  Bb
of June
C                                 
By July it was up to his eyes
       Dm

Dm                              
Come September there came a big 
Bb
frost
C                                
And all the young man's corn was 
Dm
lost


Continues after the ad
[Verse 3]
Dm                       Bb
His courtship had just begun
C                              
Said young man, "Have you hauled 
          Dm
some corn?"
Dm                            
"Well I tried and I tried and I 
           Bb
tried in vain,
C                              
But I don't believe I raised one 
   Dm
grain."


[Verse 4]
Dm                          
Well he went down town to his 
             Bb
neighbor's door
C                        Dm
Where he had often been before
Dm                                
Sayin "Pretty little miss will you
       Bb
 marry me,
C                        Dm
Little miss what do you say?"


[Verse 5]
Dm                          Bb
"Why do you come for me to wed?
C                          
You can't even make your own 
      Dm
cornbread
Dm                     Bb
Single I am and will remain.
C                         Dm
A lazy man I won't maintain."


[Verse 6]
Dm                            Bb
He turned his back and walked away
C                                
Sayin "Little miss you'll rue the 
Dm
day.
Dm                             
You'll rue the day that you were 
   Bb
born
 C                                 
Givin me the devil cause I wouldn't
     Dm
 hoe corn."
