James McMurtry - Ole Slew Foot lyrics

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
