[Verse 1]
 
C
High on the mountain I'll tell you what I see,
C                        F              C
Bear tracks, bear tracks lookin' back at me.
C
You better get your rifle boy before it's too late,
C                                  F                      C
Cause the bear's got a little pig, and headed through the gate.
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                    C
He's big around the middle, and he's broad across the rump.
        G                            C
Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump.
C
He ain't never been caught he ain't never been treed,
                             F        C
And some folks say he look a lot like me.

[Verse 2]
 
C
Ole Slew Foot, he's a mighty, mighty bear;
C                    F         C
Feet like tubs and long brown hair.
C
He's 'leven feet tall, and he's twenty feet around,
C                                     F               C
He's headed up the mountain, boys, so whistle up the hounds.
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                   C
He's big around the middle, and he's broad across the rump.
        G                                   C
Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump.
C
He ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed,
                             F        C
And some folks say he look a lot like me.

[Verse 3]
 
C
I saved up my money, and I bought me some bees,
C                             F             C
And they started makin' honey way up in the trees.
C
Cut down the trees, but my honey's all gone,
C                    F                C
Old Slew Foot's done made himself at home.
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                   C
He's big around the middle, and he's broad across the rump.
        G                           C
Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump.
C
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed,
                             F        C
And some folks say he look a lot like me.
 
[Verse 4]
 
C
Winter's comin' on, and it's twenty below,
C                              F            C
And the river's froze over, so where can he go.
C
We'll chase him up the gully, then we'll run him in the well,
C                                    F            C
And shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell.
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                   C
He's big around the middle, and he's broad across the rump.
        G                                   C
Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump.
C
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed,
                             F        C
And some folks say he look a lot like me.
                             F        C
And some folks say he look a lot like me.
                             F        C
And some folks say he look a lot like me.
