Текст песни Ole Slew Foot - Rose Maddox

(Howard Hausey - Eddie Manney)

High on the mountain tell me what do you see
Bear tracks, bear tracks're lookin' back at me
You better get your rifles boy before it's too late
'Cause the bear's got a little big and headed through the gate.

He's bigger 'round a middle and he's brought across a rough
Runnin' ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet to jump
He never been caught and he ain't never been treat
Some folks say looks a lot like me.

--- Instrumental ---

Saved up my money and bought me some bees
They started makin' honey way up in the tree
I chup down the trees but my honey's all gone
Ole slew foot's done made himself a home.

He's bigger round a middle and he's brought across a rough
Runnin' ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet to jump
He never been caught and he ain't never been treat
Some folks say looks a lot like me.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, winter's comin' on and it's twenty below
The river's frozen over so where can he go
We chase him in the golly and we run him in the well
And shoot him at the bottom and we listen to him yell.

He's bigger round a middle and he's brought across a rough
Runnin' ninety miles an hour, takin' thirty feet to jump
He never been caught and he ain't never been treat
Some folks say looks a lot like me.

Yeah, some folks say looks a lot like me...
