The other day, I met a bear,
A great big bear, Oh way out there.
The other day, I met a bear,
A great big bear, Oh way out there.
He said to me, "Why don't you run?
I see you ain't, Got any gun."
He said to me, "Why don't you run?
I see you ain't, Got any gun."
Until I ran, Away from there
That right behind me, It was the bear.
Until I ran, Away from there.
That right behind me, was the bear.
Ahead of me, There was a tree
A big big tree, Oh glory be
Ahead of me, There was a tree.
A big big tree, Oh glory be
The newest branch, Was ten feet up
I have to jump, And trust my luck.
The newest branch, Was ten feet up
I have to jump, And trust my luck.
Until I jumped, Into the air,
But I missed that branch, A way up there.
Until I jumped, Into the air,
But I missed that branch, A way up there.
Now don't you fret, And don't you frown,
Cause I Caught that branch, On the way back down!
Why don't you fret, And don't you frown,
Cause I caught that branch, The way back down!
This is the end, There ain’t no more,
Unless I meet, That bear once more.
This is the end, There ain’t no more,
Unless I meet, That bear once more.
Until I met the bear once more,
He’s just so warm , On the living floor
Until I met the bear once more,
He’s just so warm going on the living floor
