Any help with transcribing this Georgia Yellow Hammer / Double Decker Srring Band tune would be most appericated.

All Old Bachelors Are Hard to Please

          by

[The Georgia Yellow Hammers]
    AND
The Double Decker String Band
    Transcribed by Gordon

The Alabama's [they] live on Peas
The Tennessea's [they] eat what they please
The North Carolina's [they] eat tar and rosin [???]
The Georgia [towns?] gals got coon and possum
All old bachelors are hard to please, hard to please

I went out west to get me a wife
I thought I'd settle down for life
When I [got] landed there I like to fainted
To my surprise their lips were painted
All old bachelors are hard to please, hard to please

I went up north to make a trade
The first I met was a darned old maid
I thought that that was where I'd land {?]
She had her hair cut like a man
All old bachelors are hard to please, hard to please

I started then to try the South
Where I don't want no painted mouth
I Found that there they had their riches
Like their smiles [??} they wore their britches
All old bachelors are hard to please, hard to please

I'm going back, up in the hills
Where the doctor does not peddle pills
Take my fiddle and my old banjo
I may get married but I don't know
All old bachelors are hard to please, hard to please


Best regards,
Gordon
