THE BEAR WENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN
(Sung to the tune of 'For he's a jolly good fellow')

The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
To see what he could see
And all that he could see
And all that he could see

Do Your Ears Hang Low?
Do They Wobble to and Fro?
Can You Tie Them in a Knot?
Can You Tie Them in a Bow?
Can You Throw Them Over Your Shoulder Like a Continental Soldier?

(Chorus)
Michael rowed the boat ashore, hallelujah!
Michael rowed the boat ashore, hallelujah!

Jordan 's river is chilly and cold, hallelujah!
But it warms the human soul, hallelujah!
This old world is a mighty big place, hallelujah
It got Satan all over its face, hallelujah

The ants are marching one by one hurrah hurrah
The ants are marching one by one hurrah hurrah
The ants are marching one by one
The little one stopped to suck its thumb

Kum by yarh my Lord
Kum by yarh
Kum by yarh my Lord
Kum by yarh
Kum by yarh my Lord
Kum by yarh
Oh Lord Kum by yarh

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee,
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna, don't you cry.

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Far away you rolling river,
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, we're bound away across the wide Missouri.

From this valley they say you are going,
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,
For they say you are taking the sunshine
Which has brightened our pathways a while.

Late last night when we were all in bed,
Mrs. O'Leary left her lantern in the shed.
Well, the cow kicked it over, and this is what they said:
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
