ole slew foot

high on the mountain

tell me what do you see

bear tracks

bear tracks

a lookin' back at me

better get your rifle boys

before it's too late

'cause bear's got a little pig and headed through the gate. well

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. saved up my money and i got me some bees

they started makin' honey

way up in the trees

cut down the trees 'cause my honey's all gone

old slew foot's done made himself at home. well

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. well

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

the river's froze over so where can he go

we'll chased him up to gully and we'll run him in the well

we'll shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell. well

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. some folks say he's a lot like me.
