Stern Old Bachelor 歌词

I am a stern old bachelor My age is forty four I do declare I'll never live With women anymore I have a stove that's worth ten cents A table worth fifteen I cook my gruel in oyster cans And keep my things so clean Oh little sod shanty Little sod shanty give to me For I'm a stern old bachelor From matrimony free When I come home at night I smile and walk right in I never hear a voice yell out Or say where have you been On a cold and stormy night In a cozy little shack I sing my songs and think my thoughts With no one to talk back I go to bed when e'er I please And get up just the same I change my socks three times a year With no one to complain At night when I'm on peaceful sleep My snores can do no harm I never have to walk the floor With a baby in my arms And when I die and go to heaven As all good bachelors do I will not have to grieve for fear My wife will get there too
