High on the mountain tell me what do you see

Bear tracks bear tracks're lookin' back at me

You better get your rifles boy before it's too late

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

He's bigger round a middle and he's brought across a rough

Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet to jump

He never been caught and he ain't never been treat some folks say looks a lot like me

[ dobro - steel ]

Saved up my money and bought me some bees

They started makin' honey way up in the tree

I chup down the trees but my honey's all gone

Ole slew foot's done made himself a home

He's bigger round a middle...

[ fiddle ]

Well winter's comin' on and it's twenty below

The river's frozen over so where can he go

We chase him in the golly and we run him in the well

And shoot him at the bottom and we listen to him yell

He's bigger round a middle...

Yeah some folks say looks a lot like me
