lyrics

High on a mountain, tell me what do you see
Bear tracks, bear tracks looking back at me
Better get your rifles boys, before it's too late
Bear's got a little pig and she's headed for the gate

She's big around the middle
And broad across the rump
Running 90 miles an hour
Taking 30 feet a jump
She ain't never been caught
And she ain't never been treed
Some folks say she looks a lot like me

Saved up my money and bought me some bees
Started making Honey way up in the trees
Cut down the trees but my honey's all gone
Ol Slew Foot gone and made herself at home

Winter's comin' on and it's 20 below
River's frozen over, tell me where can she go
I'll chase her round the gully and run her down a well
Shoot her in the bottom just to listen to her yell
