Ole Slew Foot Lyrics - James Mcmurtry

Coming down the mountain boys what do I see 

Bear tracks bear tracks coming after me 

Better get your rifle before its too late 

The bears got a pig and hes headed for the gate 

Hes big around the middle and hes broad across the rump 

Making ninety miles an hour taking thirty feet a jump 

He aint never been caught he aint 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 honeys all gone 

Old Slew Foot done made himself at home 

The winter times coming and its twenty below 

The rivers froze over, where can he go 

Well chase him up the holler, run him in the well 

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