Old Slew Foot Lyrics by Rose Maddox

Sings Bluegrass

0

[Verse 1]
High on the mountain, tell me, what do you see?
Bear tracks, bear tracks looking back at me
Better get your rifle boys before it's too late
'Cause a bear's got a little pig and headed thru the gate
[Chorus]
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Running ninety miles an hour, taking thirty feet a jump
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been tree'd
Some folks say he looks a lot like me
[Verse 2]
Saved up my money and I bought me some bees
They started making honey way up in the trees
Cut down the trees but my honey's all gone
Ole Slew-Foot's done made himself at home
[Chorus]
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Running ninety miles an hour, taking thirty feet a jump
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been tree'd
Some folks say he looks a lot like me
[Verse 3]
Well, winter's coming on and it's twenty below
The river's froze over so where can he go?
We'll chase him up the gulley then run him in the well
We'll shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell
[Chorus]
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Running ninety miles an hour, taking thirty feet a jump
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been tree'd
Some folks say he looks a lot like me, yeah
[Outro]
Some folks say he looks a lot like me
