Bear Song (Tune: Sippin Cider) The other day I saw a bear Out in the woods A-way out there 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 ain’t Got any gun. I said to him, “That’s a good idea!” I said to my feet, “Get out-a here!” And so I ran Away from there. But right behind Me was that bear. Ahead of me I saw a tree A great big tree Oh Lordy me! The lowest branch Was ten feet up I’d have to jump And trust my luck And so I jumped Into the air But I missed that branch A-way up there Now don’t you fret And don’t you frown Cus’ I caught that branch A-way up there That is the end There ain’t no more Unless I meet That bear once more
