Up in the woods,
Away up there
He looked at me, I looked at him
He sized up me , I sized up him
He said to me , Why don’t you run
I see you ain’t , Got any gun
And so I ran , Away from there
But right behind , Me was that bear
And then I saw,
ahead of me O glory me ,
A great big tree
But the nearest branch, Was ten feet up
I have to jump , and trust my luck
And so I jumped , Into the air
But I missed that branch, away up there.
Now don’t you fret , nor don’t you frown
Because I caught that branch , on my way down
That’s all there is , There ain’t no more
Unless I meet , that bear once more.
