1
Well, like to explain to you all before,
2
I ain't no drinkin' man
3
I tried it once and it got me highly irregular
4
And I swore I'd never do it again
5
I promised my brother in-law that I'd go up watch his still
6
While he went in to town to vote
7
It was right up on the mountain
8
Where the map said it would be
9
Friends let me tell you one thing,
10
Tho it wasn't no ordinary still
11
It stood up on that mountainside
12
Like a hugh golden opal
13
God's yeller moon shinin' on the cool clear evenin'
14
God's little lanterns twinklin' on and off in the heavens
15
Like I explain'd to you once before I ain't no drinkin' man
16
But temptation got the best of me
17
And I took a slash
18
That yella whiskey runnin' down my throat
19
Like honey dew vine water
20
And I took another slash,
21
Took another' an another' an another'
22
For you knew I'd downed one whole jug of that shit
23
And commenced to gettin' hot flashes
24
Goose pimples was runnin' up and down my body
25
And a feelin' came over me
26
Like somethin' I'd never experienced before
27
It was like, like I was in love
28
In love for the first time, with anything that moved
29
Animate, inanimate it didn't matter
30
It's like there's a great neon sign flashin' on an' off
31
In my brain sayin' "Jimmy Buffett there's a great day a comin'"
32
'Cause I was drunk
33
I wasn't knee crawlin', slip slidin', Reggie Youngin'
34
Commode huggin' drunk
35
I was God's own drunk and a fearless man
36
And that's when I first saw the bear
37
He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout nineteen feet tall
38
He rambled up over the hill
39
Expectin' me to do one of two things,
40
Flip or fly, I didn't do either one
41
It hung him up
42
He started sniffin' around my body tryin' to smell fear
43
But he ain't gonna smell no fear 'cause
44
I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man
45
It hung him up
46
He looked right in my eyes, and my eyes
47
Was a lot redder than his was
48
It hung him up
49
So I approached him, I said "Mr. Bear, I love
50
Every hair on your twenty-seven acre body
51
I know you got a lot of friends over there
52
On the other side of the hill
53
There's ole' rare bear, tall bear, Freddy bear, Kelly bear
54
Really bear, smelly the bear, smokey the bear,
55
Pokey the bear
56
I want you to go back over there tonight
57
And tell them I'm feelin' right
58
You tell them I love each and everyone of them
59
Like a brother and a sister
60
But if they give me any trouble tonight
61
I'm gonna run every God damn one of them off the hill"
62
He took two steps backwards and didn't know what to think
63
Neither did I but bein' charitable and cautious
64
Well hell I approached him again
65
I said "Mr. Bear, You know in the eyes of the Lord
66
We're both beasts when it comes right down to it
67
So I want you to be my buddy, Buddy bear"
68
So I took ole' buddy bear by his island size paw
69
And I led him over to the still
70
He's a sniffin' around that thing cause
71
He's smellin' somethin' good
72
I gave him one of them jugs of honey dew vine water
73
He downed it up right
74
Looked like one of them damn bears in the circus
75
Sippin' sasparilly in the moonlight
76
I gave him another' an another' an another'
77
For I knew it he downed eight of them
78
And commenced to doin' the bear dance
79
Two snips, a snort, a fly turn, and a grunt
80
It was so simple like the jitter bug
81
It plum evaded me
82
We worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproar
83
And I was awful tired and went over to the hillside
84
And I laid down and went to sleep
85
Slept for four hours and dreampt me some tremulous dreams
86
When I woke up, there was God's yeller moon
87
Shinin' on the clear cool evenin'
88
God's little lanterns twinklin' on and off
89
In the heavens
90
My buddy the bear was a missin'
91
Want to know something else friends and neighbors
92
So was that still
