Ole Slew Foot

(albüm: Ruby - 1971)

High on the mountain, tell me what do you see
Bear tracks, bear tracks, a looking 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
Running ninety miles an hour taking forty feet a jump
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
Some folks say he's a lot like me.

[Instrumental]

Saved up my money and I got me some bees
They started making 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 and he's broad across the rump
Running ninety miles an hour taking forty feet a jump
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
Some folks say he's a lot like me.

[Instrumental]

Well, winter's coming 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 and he's broad across the rump
Running ninety miles an hour taking forty feet a jump
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been treed
Some folks say he's a lot like me.

Some folks say he's a lot like me...
