Well me and brother Bill went a huntin’ away up in the hills of Maine
The reason why we went up there we thought we’d catch some game
AWell me and brother Bill went a huntin’ away in the middle of the night
We shot at somethin’ like a grizzly bear but the doggone thing turned white
Well I dropped that gun and away I run
Brother Bill said boy what’s the matter with you
But if he’d known like me he’d’ve run some too
I ran so fast they say – they couldn’t catch me all day
The way I’d run cross that field they couldn’t catch me with an automobile
My brother Bill he got so excited – then he really took a shot at me
Thee bullet whistled past my earls and sizzled through a tree
I got tuckered and so excited – My feet was bangen the ground
I said look here big feets do your stuff cause I’m Alabamy bound
Well I dropped that gun and away I run
Brother Bill said boy what’s the matter with you
But if he’d known like me he’d’ve run some too
I ran so fast they say – they couldn’t catch me all day
The way I’d run cross that field they couldn’t catch me with an automobile
