Ole Slew Foot

Hey up on a mountain tell me what did you see

Bear tracks, bear tracks lookin’ back at me

You better get your rifle before it's too late

A bear's got a pig and he’s headed through the gate

He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump

Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump

Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed

Some folks say he’s a lot like me

So I saved up my money and I bought me some bees

And they started makin' honey way up in the trees

Chopped down the trees but my honey was all gone

Old Slew Foot'd done made himself at home

He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump

Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump

Ain’t never been caught, he ain't never been treed

Some folks say he’s a lot like me

Winter's comin' on and it's twenty below

The river froze over so where can he go

We chased him up the gully and we caught him in the well

Shot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell

He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump

Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump

Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed

Some folks say he’s a lot like me

Yeah he's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump

Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' forty feet a jump

Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed

Some folks say he’s a lot like me

Yeah some folks say he’s a lot like me
