D                                         Bb 
Tell you a little story and it won't take long 
C                                        D 
’Bout a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn 
D                            Bb 
The reason why I never could tell 
C                         D 
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 there came a big frost 
And all the young man's corn was lost 
 
 
His courtship had just begun 
Said young man, "Have you hauled some corn?" 
"Well I tried and I tried and I tried in vain, 
But I don't believe I raised one grain." 
 
 
Well 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 cornbread 
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 
Givin me the devil cause I wouldn't hoe corn."
