Well high on the mountain, boys tell you what I see
Bear tracks, bear tracks lookin' back at me
You'd better get your rifles before its too late
Bear's got a little pig and he's headin' for the gate
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump
He ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
Some folks say he's a lot like me
I saved up my money and I bought me some bees
They started makin' honey way up in the trees
Chopped down the tree but my honey's all gone
Ole Slew Foot's done made himself a home
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump
He ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
Some folks say he's a lot like me
Now winter's comin' on and it's twenty below
The river froze over so where can he go
We chased him him up the gully and we got him in the well
Shot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump
He ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
Some folks say he's a lot like me
Some folks say he's a lot like me
Some folks say he's a lot like me
Yee-haw!
