Seer Green is a village and civil parish in the Chiltern district of Buckinghamshire, England. It is in the Chiltern Hills, about a mile east of Beaconsfield and a mile south-west of Chalfont St Giles.
The toponym "Seer" is derived from the Norman French for "dry or arid place". In manorial rolls of 1223 it was called La Sere. Although local legend has it that the "Seer" refers to King Arthur's Court visiting the area and locals consulting his "seer" - a nice story but of doubtful origin. Even so there is a pub called Merlin's Cave in the nearby village, Chalfont St Giles, after this legend. The affix "Green" came later.
The Church of England parish church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1846. It is brick and flint with Lancet windows. There is also a Baptist church.
Seer Green became a separate parish in 1866, having previously been a hamlet of the parish of Farnham Royal. It had levied a separate poor rate before then.
Well Shakey Jack is a hundread and three
Still strong as hickory
Swigs of mountain dew
Was his release
I know his a only fear
Was country vulgar cold and clear
About the day he'd booze
And keep the peace
He knows the big best way
To success
Is a proud fierce woman
And a jar of whiskey
Someway however you can
It's all right by me
Well I'd stake my claim but my mule got lame
How lucky can a poor boy be
Don't you know that some bum
Stole my finger pigs?
Ask me how he gets in this fix
But I'd sure like to play some licksy game
'Cause I earn my pay
Park it all on me
There's my brown dog barking
Here's my landlord humming
Someway whatever you name
It's all right by me
Well I'd cut my corn but my got torn
How lucky can a poor boy be
Someway ah yeah
It's all right by me
Well I'd cut my corn
