Ole Slew Foot Lyrics

High on the mountain tell me what do you see

 

Bear tracks bear tracks're lookin' back at me

You better get your rifles boy before it's too late

Cause the bear's got a little big and headed through the gate

He's bigger round a middle and he's brought across a rough

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

He never been caught

And he ain't never been treat some folks say looks a lot like me

 

Saved up my money and bought me some bees

They started makin' honey way up in the tree

I chup down the trees but my honey's all gone

Ole slew foot's done made himself a home

He's bigger round a middle

Well winter's comin' on and it's twenty below

 

The river's frozen over so where can he go

We chase him in the golly and we run him in the well

And shoot him at the bottom and we listen to him yell

 

He's bigger round a middle

 

Yeah some folks say looks a lot like me
