verse 1 High on a mountain top what do I see? Bear tracks, bear tracks lookin' back at me. Better get your rifles, boys, before it's too late; The bear's got a pig, and he's headed for the gate. Well, he's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump; He's going ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet a jump. Aint never been cornered, aint never been treed; Some folks say he's a lot like me. verse 2 I saved up my money and bought me some bees; Started making honey way up in the trees. Cut down my tree and my honey's all gone; Ol' Slewfoot done made himself at home. Well, he's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump; He's going ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet a jump. Aint never been cornered, aint never been treed; Some folks say he's a lot like me. verse 3 Winter's coming on and it's forty below; The lake's froze over, so where can he go? We'll chase him up a holler and run him in a well, And shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell. Well, he's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump; He's going ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet a jump. Aint never been cornered, aint never been treed; Some folks say he's a lot like me.
