Lyrics Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash

Ole Slewfoot

High on the mountain what do I see

There's bear tracks bear tracks lookin' back at me

You better get your rifle boys before it's too late

That bear's got a little pig and headed for the gate

He's bigger around the middle and he's broad across the rump

Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' forty feet jumps

Ain't never been caught he ain't never been treat

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

He's bigger around the middle and he's broad across the rump

Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' forty feet jumps

Ain't never been caught he ain't never been treat

Some folks say he looks a lot like me

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

He's bigger around the middle and he's broad across the rump

Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' forty feet jumps

Ain't never been caught he ain't never been treat

Some folks say he looks a lot like me

Some folks say he looks a lot like my Johnny
