Verse 1
it's not very long,
The reason why I can't tell,
this young man was always well.
He went to the field
and there peeped in the
gents and weeds,
came up to his chin
the careless weeds
that grew so high,
enough to make this young man cry.
In September his corn was knee high,
in October he laid it by,
in November there came a great frost
and all this young man's corn was gone.
In the winter I was told
He went a -courting very bold
When his courtship had first begun
F#
G
My kind sir, did you make any corn?
No kindness was his reply
And long ago I've laid it by
And it wasn't worthwhile to strive in vain
D
G
I didn't expect to make one grain
Here you are a -wantin' me to wed
And you cannot make your own cornbread
A single I am and I'll remain
A lazy man I won't maintain
She gave him the mitten
just as sure as you're born
Outro 1
All because he would not hold corn
