Slew Foot |
Coming down the mountain boys what do I see |
Bear tracks bear tracks coming after me |
Better get your rifle before it’s too late |
The bear’s got a pig and he’s headed for the gate |
He’s big around the middle and he’s broad across the rump |
Making ninety miles an hour taking 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 and I bought me some bees |
They started making honey way up in the treesI cut down the tree but my |
honey’s all gone |
Old Slew Foot done made himself at home |
The winter time’s coming 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 |
And shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell |
