(one, two, three, four)
Up where the timber meets the gray slate stone
He's got a kingdom that he claims alone
Leaving heavy footprints in the morning dew
Just a-mindin' his own business till the day is through
Sing the black bear jingle as he climbs the pine (sing it
loud) Looking for the honey in the sweet sunshine He's a big
black shadow but he's gentle and slow That's the black bear jingle
everywhere he goes
He loves the wild blackberries on the eastern hill
Sipping cool spring water till he gets his fill
He doesn't want no trouble,
doesn't need no fame
Just a heavy-footed walker
with a famous name
Sing the black bear jingle as he climbs the pine (oh yeah)
Looking for the honey in the sweet sunshine He's a big black
shadow but he's gentle and slow That's the black bear jingle everywhere
he goes
When the winter wind starts to whistle cold
He'll lay his head down in a shelter bold
Sleeping off the freeze till the April green
The quietest king that you've ever seen
Sing the black bear jingle as he climbs the pine (sing it
out!) Looking for the honey in the sweet sunshine He's a big
black shadow but he's gentle and slow That's the black bear jingle
everywhere he goes
Everywhere he goes
(mmm-hmm) That's the black bear jingle
