[Verse 1]
  Em7                                     C
Tell you a little story and it won't take long,
        D                                Em7
'Bout a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn.
    Em7                      C
The reason why I never could tell,
 D                        Em7
That young man was always well.
 
{Verse 2]
   Em7                              C
He planted his corn in the month of June.
D                        Em7
By July it was up to his eyes.
Em7                            C
Come September there came a big frost.
   D                               Em7
And all the young man's corn was lost.
Em7

[Verse 3]
   Em7                 C
His courtship had just begun.
       D                              Em7
Said: "Young man, have you hoed some corn?"
   Em7                                    C
"Well I tried and I tried, and I tried in vain.
     D                            Em7
"But I don't believe I raised one grain."

[Verse 4]
   Em7                               C
He went down town to his neighbour's door.
     D                  Em7
Where he had often been before.
         Em7                                C
Sayin': "Pretty little miss, will you marry me?"
      D                  Em7
"Little miss what do you say?"
 
[Verse 5]
   Em7                     C
"Why do you come for me to wed?
      D                              Em7
"You, can't even make your own corn grain.
   Em7                  C
"Single I am, and will remain.
    D                  Em7
"A lazy man, I won't maintain."
 
[Verse 6]
   Em7                        C
He turned his back and walked away.
      D                              Em7
Saying: "Little miss, you'll rue the day.
   Em7                            C
"You'll rue the day that you were born.
      D                                     Em7
"For givin' me the devil 'cos I wouldn't hoe corn."
