Kingston Trio - Across the Wide Missouri lyrics

Yeah they call me Grizzly Bear got long black grizzly hair

Walk down the street and everybody stop and stare

Ohohoh well I'm wild and wooly and free

And so you'd better not mess with me

Lemme tell you that I howl yowl growl like a grizzly bear

They say there go Grizzly Bear got no clothes to wear

They say I'm all hung up bein' nowhere

Yeah but the girls they love my clows and my great big chompin' jaws

Lemme tell you that I howl yowl and growl like a grizzly bear

Well now I can't be chained and I can't be tamed and they can't kill my desire

So baby gimme a hug I'll be your bearskin rug

And I'll lie in front of your fire on winter

Baby if you dare why don't you come on down to my lair

And if you got some money to share I'll be waitin' for you there

Hey you know I'm gonna on strong and we can hug'n mate the whole week long

Lemme tell you that I howl yowl a growl like a grizzly bear

[ piano ]

(Yeah watch out baby here I come again)

They call me Grizzly Bear they say I'm kooky and square

They can say anything they want about me I don't care I don't care

Because I'm takin' it day by day and I'm livin' my own sweet way

Lemme tell you that I howl yowl a growl like a grizzly bear

Like grizzly bear yeah I really rip and tear I really get my share
