Great Bear - Make Their Jaws Drop
Two little Indians alone in their tent;
One to the other a message he sent.
I'm only but eight but I know the score;
To earn my true name a bear slain before.
Out to the forest before the sunrise,
My bow and arrows my only disguise.
When I come upon that dreaded vile bear,
I will slay him down with arrows to spare.
If I encounter his evil red eyes,
I'll be last person he sees, fore' he dies.
My name will be Great Bear, one whom I'd slain;
Thunder then started, was starting to rain.
Crashes of thunder, great flashes of white;
Really so beat, let me sleep thru the night.
Allow me sleep the sound sleep of the brave,
Knowing full well my very best I gave.
