C
High on the mountain tell me what you see
                         F               C
Bear tracks bear tracks looking back at me
C
Better get your rifle boys before it's too late
                                      F               C
'Cause a bear's got a little pig and headed thru the gate

Chorus:
     G7                               C
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
        G7                            C
Running ninety miles an hour taking thirty feet a jump
C
Ain't never been caught he ain't never been tree'd
                           F        C
Some folks say he looks a lot like me

Well I got me some money and I got me some bees
And they started makin' honey way up in the trees
I chopped down the trees cause my honey's all gone
Old Slew foot's done made himself at home

Chorus

Some folks say he looks a lot like daddy

Winter's comin' on and it's forty below
The river's frozen over so where can he go
I'd get me a rifle boys and run him in the well
Then I shoot him in the bottom just to hear him yell

Chorus

Some folks say he looks a lot like my Johnny
