1 Come, Georgia boy, come listen to my song, Concerning the man who made no corn; The reason why I cannot tell,
For I am sure that he worked right well.
2 In September his corn was knee-high, In October he laid it by,
In November there came a great frost, And you can't tell how much he lost. |

3 He went to the field and there he looked in, The jimpson weeds were up to his chin, The bushes and the grass had grown so high, Enough to make this young man cry.
4 In the winter, I was told, He went courting, very bold. When his courtship first began— aMy kind sir, did you make any corn?"
[286] |
