Lyrics
High on the mountain, what do I see?
There's bear tracks, bear tracks looking back at me
You better get your rifle, boys, before it's too late
That bear's got a little pig, and headed for the gate
He's big around the middle, and he's broad across the rump
Running 90 miles an hour, taking 40 feet jumps
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
And some folks say he looks a lot like me
Well, I got me some money, and I got me some bees
And they started making honey way up in the trees
I chopped down the tree, but my honey's all gone
Old slew foot's done made himself at home
He's big around the middle, and he's broad across the rump
Running 90 miles an hour, taking 40 feet jumps
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
And some folks say he looks a lot like daddy
Winter's coming on, and it's 40 below
The river's frozen over, so where can he go
I get me a rifle, boys, and run him in the well
Then I shoot him in the bottom just to hear him yell
He's big around the middle, and he's broad across the rump
Running 90 miles an hour, taking 40 feet jumps
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
And some folks say he looks a lot like my Johnny
There's bear tracks, bear tracks looking back at me
You better get your rifle, boys, before it's too late
That bear's got a little pig, and headed for the gate
He's big around the middle, and he's broad across the rump
Running 90 miles an hour, taking 40 feet jumps
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
And some folks say he looks a lot like me
Well, I got me some money, and I got me some bees
And they started making honey way up in the trees
I chopped down the tree, but my honey's all gone
Old slew foot's done made himself at home
He's big around the middle, and he's broad across the rump
Running 90 miles an hour, taking 40 feet jumps
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
And some folks say he looks a lot like daddy
Winter's coming on, and it's 40 below
The river's frozen over, so where can he go
I get me a rifle, boys, and run him in the well
Then I shoot him in the bottom just to hear him yell
He's big around the middle, and he's broad across the rump
Running 90 miles an hour, taking 40 feet jumps
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
And some folks say he looks a lot like my Johnny
