"Ole Slew Foot" lyrics - CHRIS LEDOUX

Well, high on the mountain, boys, tell you what I see:
Bear tracks, bear tracks, looking back at me
You better get your rifles before it's too late
The bear's got a little pig and he's headin' for the gate

[Chorus:]
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Runnin' 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's a lot like me

I saved up my money and I bought me some bees
They started making honey way up in the tree
Chopped down the tree, but my honey's all gone
Well, ole slew foot done make himself at home

[Chorus:]
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Runnin' 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's a lot like me

Now winter's comin' on and it's twenty below
The river froze over, so where can he go?
We chased him up the gully and we caught him in the well
Shot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell

[Chorus:]
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Runnin' 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's a lot like me

He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Runnin' 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's a lot like me
Some folks say he's a lot like me
Some folks say he's a lot like me
