Alison Krauss & Union Station - The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn (Live)
Loading...
Uploaded by iamobservingu on Mar 18, 2011
Tell you 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
But 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 courtship 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 one grain."
He went downtown to his neighbor's door
He had often been before
Said, "Pretty little miss, will you marry me?
Little miss what do you say?"
"Why do you come for me to wed?
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 rue the day.
You'll rue the day that you were born
For givin' me the devil cause I wouldn't hoe corn."

@15quigles I would bet Open D (D-A-D-F#-A-D) over drop d due to it being a slide tuning.

I'm a breaking Benjamin and three days grace fan....love the sound of guitars. THIS WAS AMAZING! Even the fiddle/violin was INCREDIBLE! Think I'm gonna get my hands on a banjo and start some lessons!

Good stuff. I listen to this CD set all the time

How come nobody is asking "what good would hoeing the corn do if an early frost comes in September?" Hmmm? F**k the farmer's daughter, I wouldn't hoe the damn corn either!

What tuning is he in?
