Robert Plant & Alison Krauss The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn Lyrics

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 could never could tell,
That young man was always well.

He planted his corn in the month of June.
By July, Man, it was up to his eyes.
And come September, was a great big frost.
Oh all that young man's corn was lost.

His story, kith, You know it just begun.
He Said: "Hey young man, have you hoed some corn?"
"Well I tried and I tried, and I tried in vain.
"But I don't believe I ever raised no grain."

He went down town to his neighbour's door.
Where he had'nt been often times before.
He Sayin': "Pretty little miss, will you marry me?"
Just Sayin': "Little miss what do you say?"

"Why do you come for me to wed?
"You, can't even make your own corn grain.
"So single I am, and I will remain.
"You know a lazy man, I just won't maintain."

So he turned his back and you know he walked away.
He Said: "Hey little miss, you know you rue the day.
"You'll rue the day that you every born.
"For givin' me the devil 'And I won't hoe no corn."
"You'll rue the day, You were every born.
"For givin' me the devil 'And I won't boy,no,no,no,no,no

So he turned his back and he walked away.
He Said: "Hey little miss, you know you rue the day.
"You'll rue the day, You every born.
"For givin' me the devil 'And I won't hoe no corn."
"You rue the day, You were every born.
"For givin' me the devil 'And I won't hoe no corn."
