Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Day 5 Campfire song Yellowstone

I met a bear (Campfire songs)

The other day,
I met a bear,
Out in the woods,
away out there. [Point]

everyone: The other day, I met a bear. Out in the woods, away out there.

He looked at me,
I looked at him,
He sized up me,
I sized up him.

everyone: He looked at me, I looked at him. He sized up me, I sized up him.

He says to me,
'Why don't you run?'
'Cause I can see,
you got no gun.'

everyone: He says to me, 'Why don't you run?' 'Cause I can see you got no gun.'

I says to him,
'That's a good idea.'
'Now legs get going,
get me out of here!'

I began to run,
away from there,
But right behind
me was that bear.

And on the path
ahead of me,
I saw a tree,
Oh glory be.

The lowest branch
was ten feet up,
I'd 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,
and don't you frown,
I caught that branch
on the way back down.

That's all there is,
there ain't no more,
Unless I meet
that bear once more.
