Stern Old Bachelor - The Carter Family
I am a stern old bachelor my age is 44
I do declare I'll never live with women anymore
I have a stove that's worth 10 cents a table worth 15
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 shout out I say where have you been
On a cold and stormy night in my cozy little shack
I sing my songs and think my thoughts with no one to talk back
Oh little sod shanty
Little sod shanty give to me
For I'm a stern old bachelor
From matrimony free

I go to bed whene'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 in peaceful sleep my snores can do no harm
I never have to walk the floor with a baby in my arms
Oh little sod shanty
Little sod shanty give to me
For I'm a stern old bachelor
From matrimony free

And when I die and go heaven as all good bachelors do

I will not have to grieve for fear my wife will get there too

Oh little sod shanty

Little sod shanty give to me
For I'm a stern old bachelor
From matrimony free
