Tiger Whitehead Lyrics
Wild blackberries bloomin' in the thickest on the mountain
Sheep shire and
water cress are growin' round the fountain
Where a big black bear is
drinkin' lappin' water like a dog
Tiger Whitehead's in the bed sleepin'
like a log
Tomorrow he'll see bear tracks seven intches wide
And by
sundown he'll be bringin' in the hide
Pretty Sally Garland comin'
down the mountain side
Where Tiger Whitehead's tryin' to nap a mill at
the mill
She sits down on a bearskin and she says you'll be my man
I'll have me the best bearhunter in the hills
A wild child was Tiger
Whitehead and they say he killed
Ninety-nine bears before he went to rest
went to rest
Once he left two bearcubs orphaned but he brought 'em right
on home
And Sally nursed the two bearcubs upon her breast
Tiger now is eighty-five and he lay upon his bed
And the bears he
killed now numbered ninety-nine ninety-nine
Some fellers trapped the
bears but Tiger said just let him go
If he ain't running wild he won't be
mine
But at night when the wind howls cross eastern hills of
Tennessee
And when the lightnin' flashes there's the strange thing that
the people say they see
An old grey headed ghost runnin' through the
mountains there
It's Tiger Whitehead after his one hundreth bear
Wild blackberries bloomin' in the thickest on the mountain
Sheep shire
and water cress are growin' round the fountain
Where a big black bear is
drinkin' lappin' water like a dog
Tiger Whitehead's in the bed sleepin'
like a log
Tomorrow he'll see bear tracks seven intches wide
And by
sundown he'll be bringin' in the hide
