I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not, my Daddy would sing it and he learned it from his Daddy. Well, the preacher he went a hunting Was on one Sunday morn Was against his religion but he took his gun along He shot himself some mighty fine quail and one little measly hare and on his way returning home he met a great big grizzly bear. Well, the bear marched out in the middle of the road and the preacher climbed out on the limb He cast his eyes to the Lord in the sky and he once more said to him Oh Lord, you delivered Daniel from the lion's den also brother Jonah from the belly of the whale and then the Hebrew Children from the fiery furnace now the Good Book due declare Now Lord if you can't help me for goodness sake don't you help that bear. My Granddaddy would put his own twist to it that for the most part I'd rather leave out but at the end he sang "Now Lord if you can't help me for goodness sake put a muzzle on that there bear".
