Slew Foot

Comin' down the mountain boys What do I see? Bear tracks, bear tracks comin' after me Better get your rifle before it's too late The bear's got a pig and it's headed for the gate He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump Makin' Ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet a jump He ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed Some folks say he looks a lot like me I took all my money, I bought me some bees They started makin' honey, way up in the trees I cut down the tree, and my honey's all gone Ole slew foot done made himself at home He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump Makin' Ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet a jump He ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed Some folks say he looks a lot like me Winter time's comin' and it's twenty below The river's froze over, where can he go? We'll chase him up the holler, run him in the well We'll shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump Makin' Ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet a jump He ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed Some folks say he looks a lot like me Some folks say he looks a lot like me
