[ti:The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn] [ar:Alison Krauss] [al:New Favorite] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn - Alison Krauss Tell you 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 But 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 courtship 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 one grain " He went downtown to his neighbor's door He had often been before Said "Pretty little miss will you marry me Little miss what do you say " "Why do you come for me to wed 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 rue the day You'll rue the day that you were born For givin' me the devil cause I wouldn't hoe corn "
