[Verse 1]
G I’ll sing you a song and it’s not very long, Em It’s about a young man who wouldn’t hoe corn. G D Em The reason why I cannot tell, D Em This young man was always well.
[Verse 2]
G He planted his corn in the month of June Em And in July it was knee high. G D Em September first there came a frost D Em And all this young man’s corn was lost.
[Verse 3]
G He went to the fence and there peeped in, Em The weeds and grass came up to his chin. G D Em The weeds and grass grew up so high, D Em They caused this young man for to sigh.
[Verse 4]
G So he went down to his neighbor’s door, Em Where he had often been before. G D Em Sayin' “Pretty little miss, will you marry me? D Em Pretty little miss, what do you say?”
[Verse 5]
G “Here you are, a-wanting for to wed. Em And can’t grow corn for to make corn bread! G D Em Single I am, single I’ll remain, D Em A lazy man I’ll not maintain.”
[Verse 6]
G “You go down to that pretty little widow Em And I hope, by heck, that you don’t get her.” G D Em She gave him the mitten, sure as you’re born, D Em All because he wouldn’t hoe corn.
