[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]
