from John_in_brisbane. this is Pete Seeger's version, from the singing of Uncle Dave Macon. Doesn't appear to be complete because the gif also says "pete works up an imitation of hounds barking and ends with the shooting of the bear."

CUMBERLAND MOUNTAIN BEAR CHASE

(Banjo)
(Vocal intro)
A-way, a-way we're bound for the moun-tain
bound for the moun-tain,
bound for the moun-tain
O-ver the hill, the fields and the foun-tain
a-way to the chase a-way, a-way
(Banjo)

Now we're set just right for the race
the old hound dogs are read-y for the chase

Ov-er the moun-tain
the fields and the foun-tain
a-way to the chase a-way, a-way

Rover,rover, see him_, see him,
Rover, Roverm catch_ him_ catch_him

Listen to the hound dog's heavy bay
Sounding high over the way

All Night long till the break of dawn
Merrily the chase goes on

midi to alan, NWC file to Dick.
