Old Slew Foot

Written by Eddie Manney / Howard Hausey

	  		G 
High on the mountain, tell me what you see 
                         C               G 
Bear tracks, bear tracks lookin' back at me 
Better get your rifle boy, before it's too late 
                                     C               G  
'Cause a bear's got a little pig and headed thru the gate. 
 
CHORUS 
D                                   G 
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump 
        D                           G 
Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump 
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been tree'd 
                           C        G 
Some folks say he looks a lot like me. 
 
I saved up my mon' and I bought me some bees 
And they started makin' honey way up in the trees 
Cut down the tree but my honey's all gone 
Ole Slew Foot's done made himself at home. 
 
CHORUS 
 
Winter's comin' on and it's twenty below 
And the river's froze over so where can he go 
We'll chase him up the gulley then we'll run him in the well 
We'll shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell.
