Ole Slew Foot

High on the mountain tell me what you see

Bear tracks bear tracks lookin' back at me

Better get your rifle boy before it's too late

Cause the bear's got a little pig and 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

And some folks say he look a lot like me

[ harmonica ]

I saved up my money and I bought me some bees

And they started makin' honey way up in the trees

Cut down the trees but my honey's all gone

Old Slew Foot's done made himself at home

He's big around the middle...

[ harmonica ]

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

And the river's froze over so where can he go

We'll chase him up the gully then we'll run him in the well

And shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell

He's big around the middle...
