[Verse]
E7 A7 E7 Well, like I explain to you all before, I ain't no drinkin' man A7 I tried it once and it got me highly irregular E7 And I swore I'd never do it again A7 But I promised my brother in-law that I'd go up watch his still
While he went in to town to vote
E7 It was right up on the mountain where the map said it would be A7 Friends let me tell you one thing, though E7 It wasn't no ordinary still A7 It stood up on that mountainside like… a huge golden opal E7 God's yeller moon shinin' on the cool clear evenin' A7 God's little lanterns twinklin' on and off in the heavens E7 Like I explain'd to you once before I ain't no drinkin' man A7 E7 But temptation got the best of me… and I took a slash A7 That yella whiskey runnin' down my throat
Like honey dew vine water and I took another slash
E7 Took another'n an another'n an another'n A7 For you knew I'd downed one whole jug of that shit
7E7
And commenced to gettin' hot flashes
A7
Goose pimples was runnin' up and down my bodyAnd a feelin' came over me
E7 Like somethin' I'd never experienced before A7 E7 It was like, like I was in love A7 E7 In love for the first time, with anything that moved A7 Animate, inanimate it didn't matter E7 It's like there's a great neon sign flashin' on an' off A7 In my brain sayin' "Jimmy Buffett there's a great day a comin'" E7 'Cause I was drunk A7 E7 I wasn't knee crawlin', slip slidin', Reggie Youngin' A7 Commode huggin' drunk E7 A7 I was God's own drunk… and a fearless man E7 And that's when I first saw the bear A7 E7 He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout nineteen feet tall
He rambled up over the hill expectin' me to do one of two things
A7 Flip or fly, I didn't do either one, it hung him up E7 He started sniffin' around my body tryin' to smell fear A7 But he ain't gonna smell no fear 'cause
I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man. It hung him up
E7 He looked right in my eyes, and my eyes A7 Was a lot redder than his was. It hung him up E7 A7 So I approached him, I said "Uh, Mr. Bear, I love E7 Every hair on your twenty-seven acre body A7 I know you got a lot of friends over there
On the other side of the hill
E7 There's ole' Rare bear, Tall bear, Freddy bear, Kelly bear A7 Really bear, Smelly the bear, Smokey the bear, Pokey the bear E7 I want you to go back over there tonight
And tell them I'm feelin' right
A7
You tell them I love each and every one of themLike a brother and a sister
E7 But if they give me any trouble tonight A7 I'm gonna run every God damn one of them off the hill E7 A7 He took two steps backwards and didn't know what to think E7 Neither did I but bein' charitable and cautious A7 Well, hell, I approached him again E7 I said "Mr. Bear, You know in the eyes of the Lord A7 We're both beasts when it comes right down to it E7 A7 So I want you to be my buddy, “Buddy Bear” E7 So I took ole' buddy bear by his island size paw
And I led him over to the still
A7 He's a sniffin' around that thing cause he’s smellin something good E7 I gave him one of them jugs of honey dew vine water
He downed it up right
A7
Looked like one of them damn bears in the circusSippin' sasparilly in the moonlight
E7
I gave him another'n an another'n an another'nFor I knew it he downed eight of them
A7
And commenced to doin' the bear danceTwo snips, a snort, a fly turn, and a grunt
E7 It was so simple like the jitter bug, it plum evaded me A7 We worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproar, and I was E7 Awful tired and went over to the hillside A7 And I laid down and went to sleep E7 Slept for four hours and dreamt me some tremulous dreams A7 Now when I woke up E7 Oh, there was God's yeller moon shinin' on the clear cool evenin' A7 God's little lanterns twinklin' on and off in the heavens E7 A7 My buddy the bear was a-missin' E7 C7 B7 C7 B7 Yeah. Want to know something else friends and neighbors? E7 So was that still
That’s a take!
