OLE SLEW FOOT

(Howard Hausey - Eddie Manney)

« © '59 Cave Music »



High on the mountain what do you see

Bear tracks bear tracks lookin' back at me

You better get your rifles boys before it's too late

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

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

Doin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump

He never been caught and he ain't never been treed some folks say looks a lot
like me

I saved up my money and I bought me some bees

They started makin' honey way up in the trees

I chopped down the tree but my honey's all gone

Ole Slew Foot's done made himself at home

He's big around the middle...

Winter's comin' on and it's twenty below the river's froze over so where can he
go

We'll chase him in the gully and we'll run him in the well

And shoot him at the bottom and we'll listen to him yell

He's big around the middle...
