The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn - Alison Krauss (艾莉森·克劳丝)
Tell You a 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
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 story kith 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 no grain '
He went down town to his neighbour's door
Where he had often been before
Sayin': 'Pretty little miss will you marry me '
'Little miss what do you say '
'Why do you come for me to wed
'You 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'll rue the day
'You'll rue the day that you were born
'For givin' me the devil 'cos I wouldn't hoe corn '
