Well, like to to you all before I ain't no man I tried it and it got me highly irregular And I I'd never do it again I promised my brother in-law I'd go up watch his still While he went in to town to It was up on the mountain the map said it would be Friends let me you one thing Though it wasn't no still It up on that mountainside Like a golden opal
God's moon shinin' on the cool clear evenin' God's lanterns twinklin' on and off in the heavens Like I explain'd to you once before I no drinkin' man But temptation got the of me And I took a That yella whiskey runnin' down my Like dew vine water
And I took another Took an another'n an another'n For you knew I'd downed one jug of that shit And to gettin' hot flashes Goose pimples was runnin' up and my body And a feelin' came me somethin' I'd never experienced before It was like, like I was in In love for the first time, with that moved Animate, inanimate it didn't It's like there's a great neon flashin' on an' off In my brain sayin' "Jimmy Buffett there's a day a comin'" 'Cause I was I wasn't knee crawlin', slidin', Reggie Youngin' huggin' drunk
I was own drunk and a fearless man And when I first saw the bear He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout nineteen tall He rambled up over the Expectin' me to do one of two Flip or fly, I didn't do one It him up
He started sniffin' my body tryin' to smell fear But he ain't smell no fear 'cause I'm God's own and a fearless man It him up He right in my eyes, and my eyes Was a lot than his was It him up

So I you to be my buddy, Buddy bear" So I took ole' buddy bear by his size paw And I led him over to the He's a sniffin' around thing cause He's smellin' somethin' I him one of them jugs of honey dew vine water He downed it up Looked like one of them damn in the circus
Sippin' in the moonlight I gave him an another'n an another'n For I knew it he downed of them And commenced to doin' the dance Two snips, a snort, a fly turn, and a It was so like the jitter bug It evaded me
We worked ourselves a tumultuous uproar And I was tired and went over to the hillside And I down and went to sleep Slept for four hours and dreampt me tremulous dreams When I up, there was God's yeller moon Shinin' on the clear cool
God's little lanterns on and off In the My buddy the was a missin' Want to know else friends and neighbors So was still
