Claude King - Ole Slew Foot Lyrics

High up on the mountain tell me what you see

Bear tracks bear tracks are lookin' back at me

Better get your rifle boy before it's too late

The bear's got a little big and headed through the gate

He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump

Doin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump

He ain't never been caught and he ain't never been treed

Some folks say he looks a lot like me

[ harmonica ]

I saved up my money and bought me some bees

They started makin' honey way up in the trees

I cut down my tree and my honey's all gone

Ole Slew Foot's done made himself at home

He's big around the middle...

[ harmonica ]

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

The river's froze over so where can he go

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

We shoot him at the bottom and we'll listen to him yell

He's bigger round a middle...
