Thread Name: Stories and songs about bears
Subject: RE: Stories and songs about bears
Funny, it looks like my favorite bear song is not in the DT.
call and response, like Sipping Cider thru a Straw
the other day, the other day
I saw a bear, I saw a bear
up in the woods, up in the woods
away out there, a way out there
The other day I saw a bear, up in the woods a way out there
(similar structure)
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
And so I ran, away from there, and right behind me was that bear
And then I saw, ahead of me, a great big tree, oh lordy me
The nearest branch, was ten feet up, I'd have to jump and trust to luck
and so I jumped into the air and I missed that branch away up there
Now don't you fret, now don't you frown, cause 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.
