Well, like to explain to you all I ain't no man I it once and it got me highly irregular And I swore I'd do it again I promised my brother in-law I'd go up watch his still While he in to town to vote It was up on the mountain Where the map said it be let me tell you one thing Though it wasn't no still It stood up on mountainside a hugh golden opal
God's yeller moon on the cool clear evenin' little lanterns twinklin' on and off in the heavens Like I explain'd to you before I ain't no drinkin' man But got the best of me And I took a That yella whiskey runnin' my throat Like dew vine water
And I took another another'n an another'n an another'n For you knew I'd downed one jug of that shit And to gettin' hot flashes Goose was runnin' up and down my body And a came over me Like I'd never experienced before It was like, I was in love In love for the first time, with that moved Animate, inanimate it didn't It's like a great neon sign flashin' on an' off In my brain sayin' "Jimmy Buffett a great day a comin'" I was drunk I wasn't crawlin', slip slidin', Reggie Youngin' Commode drunk
I was God's own and a fearless man And that's I first saw the bear He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout nineteen feet He rambled up over the me to do one of two things Flip or fly, I do either one It him up
He sniffin' around my body tryin' to smell fear But he ain't gonna smell no fear I'm God's own and a fearless man It him up He right in my eyes, and my eyes Was a lot redder his was It him up
So I approached him, I "Mr. Bear, I love Every hair on twenty-seven acre body I know you got a lot of over there On the other side of the There's ole' rare bear, bear, Freddy bear, Kelly bear bear, smelly the bear, smokey the bear Pokey the I want you to go over there tonight And tell I'm feelin' right You tell them I love each and of them a brother and a sister
But if they give me any trouble I'm gonna run God damn one of them off the hill" He took two backwards and didn't know what to think Neither did I but charitable and cautious Well I approached him again I said "Mr. Bear, You in the eyes of the Lord both beasts when it comes right down to it
So I want you to be my buddy, bear" So I took ole' buddy bear by his size paw And I led him over to the He's a sniffin' around that thing smellin' somethin' good I gave him one of them of honey dew vine water He downed it up Looked like one of them damn bears in the
Sippin' sasparilly in the I him another'n an another'n an another'n For I it he downed eight of them And commenced to the bear dance Two snips, a snort, a fly turn, and a It was so simple like the bug It evaded me
We worked into a tumultuous uproar And I was awful tired and went to the hillside And I down and went to sleep for four hours and dreampt me some tremulous dreams When I up, there was God's yeller moon Shinin' on the clear evenin'
God's lanterns twinklin' on and off In the My the bear was a missin' Want to know something else and neighbors So was still
