Ole Slew Foot Lyrics - Claude King

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 pig 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...
