Some versions are about Lane county.
My name is Tom Hight, an old bach'lor I am,
You'll find me out west in the country of fame,
You'll find me out west on an elegant plan,
A-starvin' 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 house it is built out of 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.
My clothes are all ragged, my language is rough,
My bread is corndodgers, both solid and tough,
But yet I am happy and live at my ease,
On sorghum molasses, and bacon and cheese.
How happy I am when I crawl into bed,
A rattlesnake hisses a tune at my head,
A gay little centipede all without fear,
Crawls over my pillow and into my ear.
Now all you claimholders I hope you will stay,
And chew your hardtack till you're toothless and grey,
But as for myself, I'll no longer remain
To starve like a dog on my government claim
Farewell to Greer County, farewell to the West,
I'll travel back east to the girl I love best,
I'll travel to Texas and marry me a wife,
Cry quits on corndodgers the rest of my life.
Goodbye to Greer County, where blizzards arise,
Where the sun never sinks and the flea never dies,
And the wind never ceases, but always remains,
Till it starves us all out on our government claim.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C3:E284:900:A87A:27FB:84FB:61F0 (talk) 17:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
