the other day ı met a bear, up in the woods away
up there
ı looked at him... he looked at me...ı sized up
him...he sized up me...
he said to me...why don't you run...ı see you ain't
got any gun
and so ı ran .. away from there .. and right behind
me was that bear
and then ı saw .. ahead of me .. a great big tree ..
oh, lordy me
the nearest branch .. was ten feet up.. ı'd have to
jump .. and trust to luck
and so ı jumped .. ınto the air .. ı missed that
branch .. away up there
now don't you fret .. and don't you frown .. cause ı
caught that branch .. on the way back down
that's all there is .. there ain't no more .. unless
ı meet .. that bear once more
