The other day,
I met a bear,
Out in the woods,
away out there.
everyone:
The other day, I met a bear. Out in the woods, away out there.
He looked at me,
I looked at him,
He sized up me,
I sized up him.
everyone:
He looked at me, I looked at him. He sized up me, I sized up him.
He says to me,
'Why don't you run?'
'Cause I can see,
you got no gun.'
everyone:
He says to me, 'Why don't you run?' 'Cause I can see you got no gun.'
I says to him,
'That's a good idea.'
'Now legs get going,
get me out of here!'
everyone:
I began to run, away from there, But right behind me was that bear.
And on the path
ahead of me,
I saw a tree,
Oh glory be.
everyone:
And on the path ahead of me, I saw a tree, Oh glory be.
The lowest branch
was ten feet up,
I'd have to jump
and trust my luck.
everyone
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
away up there.
everyone
And so I jumped into the air, But I missed that branch away up there.
Now don't you fret,
and don't you frown,
I caught that branch
on the way back down.
everyone
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,
Unless I meet
that bear once more.
everyone
That's all there is, there ain't no more, Unless I meet that bear once more.
