The Boy Who Couldn't Hoe Corn Tab uke di The Broken Circle Breakdown (Accordi Baritono)

Am                                      F 
Tell you little story and it won't take long
        D                                Am
'Bout a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn
                             F
The reason why I never could tell
    D                        Am
But that young man was always well

    Am                              F
He planted his corn in the month of June
   D                     Am
By July it was up to his eyes
                          F                         
Come September came a big frost
    D                            Am
And all the young man's corn was lost


Instrumental : Am F G Am x2


Am                       F
His courtship had just begun
G                                    Am
Said, "Young man, have you hoed some corn?"
                                          F
"Well, I tried and I tried and I tried in vain
      G               F      G   Am
But I don't believe I raised one grain."

Am                                 F
He went downtown to his neighbor's door
      G                   Am
Where he had often been before
                                          F
Said, "Pretty little miss, will you marry me?
G                F  G   Am
Little miss what do you say?"

Am                         F
"Why do you come for me to wed?
G                             Am
Can't even make your own corn grain.
                       F
Single I am and will remain;
   G         F     G   Am
A lazy man I won't maintain."

Am                             F
He turned his back and walked away
G                                 Am
Sayin', "Little miss you rue the day.
                                  F
You'll rue the day that you were born
    G                           F        G    Am
For givin' me the devil cause I wouldn't hoe corn."
