High on the mountain what do I see There's bear tracks bear tracks lookin' back at me You better get your rifle boys before it's too late That bear's got a little pig and headed for the gate
He's bigger around the middle and he's broad across the rump Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' forty feet jumps Ain't never been caught he ain't never been treat Some folks say he looks a lot like me [ banjo ] Well I got me some money and I got me some bees And they started makin' honey way up in the trees I chopped down the trees cause my honey's all gone Old Slew foot's done made himself at home
He's bigger around the middle... Some folks say he looks a lot like daddy [ banjo ] Winter's comin' on and it's forty below The river's frozen over so where can he go I'd get me a rifle boys and run him in the well Then I shoot him in the bottom just to hear him yell
He's bigger around the middle... Some folks say he looks a lot like my Johnny
