That young man was always well

By July it was up to his eyes

Come September there came a big frost
A Bm7 G A Bm7 G A Bm7
And all the young man's corn was lost

His courtship had just begun

A Bm7 G A Bm7 G A Bm7
But I don't believe I raised one grain."

Little miss what do you say?"

Single I am and will remain.

A lazy man I won't maintain."
