High on the mountain tell me what do you see

Bear tracks bear tracks a lookin' back at me

Better get your rifle boys before it's too late

Cause bear's got a little pig and headed through the gate

Well he's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump

Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' forty feet a jump

Ain't never been caught he ain't never been treed some folks say he's a lot like me

[ banjo ]

Saved up my money and I got me some bees

They started makin' honey way up in the trees

Cut down the trees cause my honey's all gone

Old Slew Foot's done made himself at home

Well he's big around the middle...

[ fiddle ]

Well winter's comin' on and it's twenty below

The river's froze over so where can he go

We'll chased him up to gully and we'll run him in the well

We'll shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell

Well he's big around the middle...

Some folks say he's a lot like me
