Well, to explain to you all before I no drinkin' man I tried it once and it got me irregular And I swore I'd never do it I promised my brother in-law that I'd go up watch his While he in to town to vote It was up on the mountain Where the map it would be Friends let me you one thing Though it wasn't no still It stood up on mountainside Like a golden opal
God's yeller moon shinin' on the clear evenin' God's little lanterns twinklin' on and off in the Like I explain'd to you once before I no drinkin' man But got the best of me And I took a That whiskey runnin' down my throat Like honey dew vine
And I took slash Took an another'n an another'n For you knew I'd one whole jug of that shit And to gettin' hot flashes pimples was runnin' up and down my body And a came over me Like somethin' I'd never experienced It was like, I was in love In love for the first time, with anything that Animate, inanimate it matter It's like there's a neon sign flashin' on an' off In my brain sayin' "Jimmy there's a great day a comin'" 'Cause I was I wasn't knee crawlin', slidin', Reggie Youngin' Commode drunk
I was own drunk and a fearless man And when I first saw the bear He was a Kodiak lookin' 'bout nineteen feet tall He up over the hill 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 gonna smell no fear 'cause I'm own drunk and a fearless man It him up He looked right in my eyes, and my Was a lot redder his was It him up
So I approached him, I said "Mr. Bear, I hair on your twenty-seven acre body I you got a lot of friends over there On the side of the hill There's rare bear, tall bear, Freddy bear, Kelly bear Really bear, smelly the bear, smokey the Pokey the I want you to go back over tonight And tell them I'm feelin' You tell I love each and everyone of them a brother and a sister
But if they me any trouble tonight I'm run every God damn one of them off the hill" He took two steps backwards and didn't know to think Neither did I but bein' 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 ole' buddy bear by his island size paw And I led him over to the He's a sniffin' around that thing He's smellin' good I gave him one of them jugs of honey dew water He downed it up Looked like one of them bears in the circus
Sippin' sasparilly in the I him another'n an another'n an another'n For I knew it he eight of them And commenced to doin' the bear Two snips, a snort, a fly turn, and a It was so simple like the bug It evaded me
We worked ourselves into a uproar And I was awful tired and went over to the And I down and went to sleep Slept for four and dreampt me some tremulous dreams When I woke up, was God's yeller moon Shinin' on the clear evenin'
little lanterns twinklin' on and off In the My the bear was a missin' Want to know something else friends and So was that
