Dm Bb "Well I tried and I tried and I tried in vain, C Dm But I don't believe I raised one grain."

[Verse 5] Dm Bb "Why do you come for me to wed? C Dm You can't even make your own cornbread Dm Bb Single I am and will remain. C Dm A lazy man I won't maintain." [Verse 6] Dm Bb He turned his back and walked away C Dm Sayin "Little miss you'll rue the day. Dm Bb You'll rue the day that you were born C Dm Givin me the devil cause I wouldn't hoe corn."
