| [00:13.19] |
I'll sing a little song but it ain't very long |
| [00:15.72] |
About a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn |
| [00:18.05] |
And why it was I never could tell |
| [00:20.35] |
For that young man was always well |
| [00:22.97] |
That young man was always well |
| [00:37.86] |
He planted his corn on June the last |
| [00:40.15] |
In July it was up to his eye |
| [00:42.60] |
In September there came a big frost |
| [00:44.51] |
And all that young man's corn was lost |
| [00:46.86] |
All that young man's corn was lost |
| [01:01.52] |
He started to the field and got there at last |
| [01:03.86] |
The grass and weeds was up to his chin |
| [01:06.16] |
The grass and weeds had grown so high |
| [01:08.34] |
It caused that poor man for to sigh |
| [01:10.67] |
Caused that poor man for to sigh |
| [01:24.92] |
Now his courtship had just begun |
| [01:27.23] |
She said, "Young man have you hoed your corn?" |
| [01:29.40] |
"I've tried I've tried I've tried in vain |
| [01:31.62] |
But I don't believe I'll raise one grain |
| [01:33.99] |
Don't believe I'll raise one grain" |
| [01:48.19] |
"Why do you come to me to wed |
| [01:50.37] |
If you can't raise your own cornbread? |
| [01:52.70] |
Single I am and will remain |
| [01:54.68] |
For a lazy man I won't maintain |
| [01:57.24] |
A lazy man I won't maintain" |
| [02:11.26] |
He hung his head and walked away |
| [02:13.46] |
Saying "Kind miss you'll rue the day |
| [02:15.60] |
You'll rue the day that you were born |
| [02:17.67] |
For giving me the devil 'cause I wouldn't hoe my corn |
| [02:20.09] |
Giving me the devil 'cause I wouldn't hoe my corn" |
| [02:33.92] |
Now his courtship was to an end |
| [02:36.16] |
On his way he then began |
| [02:38.34] |
Saying "Kind miss I'll have another girl |
| [02:40.43] |
If I have to ramble this big wide world |
| [02:44.52] |
If I have to ramble this big wide world" |
| [02:46.80] |
