James McMurtry - Slew Foot lyrics

Coming down the mountain boys what do I see Bear tracks bear tracks coming after me Better get your rifle before it's too late The bear's got a pig and he's headed for the gate He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump Making ninety miles an hour taking thirty feet a jump He ain't never been caught he ain't 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 honey's all gone Old Slew Foot done made himself at home The winter time's coming and it's twenty below The river's froze over, where can he go We'll chase him up the holler, run him in the well And shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell
