Lyrics Greer County Bachelor - Pete Seeger
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
plan
A-starving
to
death
on
my
government
claim
Hurrah,
for
Greer
County!
The
land
of
the
free
The
land
of
the
bedbug,
grasshopper,
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
ragged,
my
language
is
rough
My
bread
is
corn
dodgers,
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
the
national
soil
Its
walls
are
erected
according
to
Hoyle
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
bedbug,
grasshopper,
and
flea
I'll
sing
of
its
praises,
I'll
tell
of
its
fame
While
starving
to
death
on
my
government
claim
How
happy
am
I
when
I
crawl
into
bed!
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
Chew
your
hardtack
till
you're
toothless
and
gray
But
for
myself,
I'll
no
longer
remain
To
starve
like
a
dog
on
my
government
claim
Hurrah,
to
Greer
County,
where
blizzards
arise
Where
the
sun
never
sinks,
the
flea
never
dies
I'll
sing
of
its
praises,
I'll
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
Call
quits
on
corn
dodgers
the
rest
of
my
life
