The other day
I met a bear
Up in the woods
A way up there
The other day
I met a bear
Up in the woods
A way up there
|
He looked at me,
I looked at him,
He sized up me,
I sized up him.
He looked at me,
I looked at him,
He sized up me,
I sized up him.
|
He said to me,
Why don't you run?
I see you don't
have any gun.
He said to me,
Why don't you run?
I see you don't
have any gun.

And so I ran
away from there
And right behind me
was a that bear
And so I ran
away from there
And right behind me
was a that bear
|
Ahead of me
there was a tree
A great big tree,
oh, golly gee
Ahead of me
there was a tree
A great big tree,
oh, golly gee
|
The lowest branch
was ten feet up
I had to jump
and trust my luck
The lowest branch
was ten feet up
I had to jump
and trust my luck
|
And so I jumped
into the air
But I missed that branch
on the way up there
And so I jumped
into the air
But I missed that branch
on the way up there
|
Now don't you fret
and don't you frown
I caught that branch
on the way back down
Now don't you fret
and don't you frown
I caught that branch
on the way back down
|
That's all there is,
there ain't no more,
Until I meet
that bear once more.
That's all there is,
there ain't no more,
Until I meet
that bear once more.
