-33 -2* -2*-2*  -1
My name is Tom Hight

An old bach-‘lor I am
 -2*    3   3   3   2
You’ll find me out west
2   2   3    2  3  -4-3
On the coun-try of fame
  3    -2* -2* -2*  -1
You’ll find me out west

On an el-e-gant plain

While starv-ing to death
-3 3  -2* -1   -1   -1
On my gov-ern-ment claim
