G
High on a mountain top what do I see?
C G
Bear tracks, bear tracks lookin' back at me.
G
Better get your rifles, boys, before it's too late;
C G
The bear's got a pig, and he's headed for the gate.
[Chorus]
D G
Well, he's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump;
D G
He's going ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet a jump.
Aint never been cornered, aint never been treed;
C G
Some folks say he's a lot like me.
[Verse 2]
G
I saved up my money and bought me some bees;
C G
Started making honey way up in the trees.
G
Cut down my tree and my honey's all gone;
C G
Ol' Slewfoot done made himself at home.
[Chorus]
D G
Well, he's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump;
D G
He's going ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet a jump.
Aint never been cornered, aint never been treed;
C G
Some folks say he's a lot like me.
[Verse 3]
G
Winter's coming on and it's forty below;
C G
The lake's froze over, so where can he go?
G
We'll chase him up a holler and run him in a well,
C G
And shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell.
[Chorus]
D G
Well, he's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump;
D G
He's going ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet a jump.
Aint never been cornered, aint never been treed;
C G
Some folks say he's a lot like me.
