Ole Slew Foot

(альбом: Rockin' Rollin' Johnny Horton - 1981)

High on the mountain tell me what you see
Bear tracks, bear tracks looking back at me
Better get your rifle boy before it's too late
Cause 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
Running ninety miles an hour taking thirty feet a jump
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
And some folks say he look a lot like me

I saved up my money and I bought me some bees
And they started making honey way up in the trees
Cut down the trees but my honey's all gone
Old Slew Foot's done made himself at home

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 treed
And some folks say he look a lot like me

Winter's coming on and it's twenty below
And the river's froze over so where can he go
We'll chase him up the gully then we'll run him in the well
And shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell

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 treed
And some folks say he look a lot like me
