Greer County Bachelor (其他)歌词完整版
My name is Tom Hight an old bachelor I am
You'll find me out West in the county of fame
You'll find me out West on an elegant plain
And starving to death on my government claim
Hurrah for Greer County
The land of the free
The land of the bed-bug
Grass-hopper and flea
I'll sing of its praises
I'll tell of its fame
While starving to death
On my government claim
My clothes they are all ragged as my language is rough
My bread is corndodgers both solid and tough
And yet I am happy and live at my ease
On sorghum molasses and bacon and cheese
My house it is built of natural sod
Its walls are erected according to hod
Its roof has no pitch but is level and plain
I always get wet if it happens to rain
Hurrah for Greer County
The land of the free
The home of the bed-bug
Grass-hopper and flea
I'll sing of its praises
I'll tell of its fame
While starving to death
On my government claim
A rattlesnake hisses a tune at my head
A gay little centipede quite without fear
Crawls over my pillow and into my ear
Now all you claim holders I hope you will stay
And chew your hard tack 'til you're toothless and gray
But for myself I'll no longer remain
To starve like a dog on my government claim
Hurrah for Greer County where blizzards arise
Where the sun never sinks and a flea never dies
I'll sing of its praises and tell of its fame
While starving to death on my government claim
Goodbye to Greer County Goodbye to the West
I'll travel back East to the girl I love best
I'll travel back East and marry me a wife
Got quits on corndodgers the rest of my life
