“The Bear Went Over the Mountain”

Description

"The bear went over the mountain (x3) To see what he could see." "He saw another mountain (x3), And what do you think he did?" "He climbed the other mountain...."

Notes

This is another of those songs you never find in folk song books. But I'm pretty sure I learned it orally; I think it belongs here. - RBW
