E My name is Tom Hight, an old bachelor I am, B7 You’ll find me out West in the county of fame, E You’ll find me out West on an elegant plain B7 E Starving to death on my government claim. [Verse 2] E Hurrah for Greer County! The land of the free, B7 The land of the bedbug, grasshopper, and flea; E I’ll sing of its praises, I’ll tell of its fame B7 E While I’m starving to death on my government claim. [Verse 3] E How happy am I when I crawl into bed! B7 A rattlesnake hisses a tune at my head, E A gay little centipede, all without fear B7 E Crawls over my pillow and into my ear. [Verse 4] E My clothes is all ragged, my language is rough; B7 My bread is corndodgers, both solid and tough; E And yet I am happy and live at my ease, B7 E On sorghum, molasses, and bacon and cheese. [Verse 5] E Good-bye to Greer County, where blizzards arise B7 Where the sun never sinks, and a flea never dies E And the wind never ceases but always remains B7 E Till it starves us to death on our government claim. [Verse 6] E Farewell to Greer County, farewell to the West, B7 I’ll travel back East to the girl I love best, E I’ll travel back Texas and marry me a wife, B7 E B7 B7 C7 B7 E And quit eatin’ corndodgers for the rest of my life.
