Chords
Am F
Tell you little story and it won't take long
D Am
'Bout a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn
F
The reason why I never could tell
D Am
But that young man was always well
Am F
He planted his corn in the month of June
D Am
By July it was up to his eyes
F
Come September came a big frost
D Am
And all the young man's corn was lost
Instrumental : Am F G Am x2
Am F
His courtship had just begun
G Am
Said, "Young man, have you hoed some corn?"
F
"Well, I tried and I tried and I tried in vain
G F G Am
But I don't believe I raised one grain."
Am F
He went downtown to his neighbor's door
G Am
Where he had often been before
F
Said, "Pretty little miss, will you marry me?
G F G Am
Little miss what do you say?"
Am F
"Why do you come for me to wed?
G Am
Can't even make your own corn grain.
F
Single I am and will remain;
G F G Am
A lazy man I won't maintain."
Am F
He turned his back and walked away
G Am
Sayin', "Little miss you rue the day.
F
You'll rue the day that you were born
G F G Am
For givin' me the devil cause I wouldn't hoe corn."
