lyrics

Tennesseans, they live on tea
Alabamans, they'll eat what they please
North Carolina has tar and rosin
North Dakota has cougars and possums
Old bachelors are hard to please, they're hard to please

I went up north to make a trade
First I found was a bar room maid
Thought that was where I'd land
She had her hair just like a man
Old bachelors are hard to please, they're hard to please

I'm going back up to the hill
Where the doctor does not peddle pills
Take my fiddle and my old banjo
I might get married, but I don't know
Old bachelors are hard to please, they're hard to please
