He was born of good parents
He was raised in loving hands
He never sought to do evil
Or take the life of another man
Even when a mob came and burned his home
And took all his family had
John stood behind the wisdom
And the strength of his humble dad
John Bear-a-hare
John Bows
Whoo hoo hoo
Whoo hoo hoo
John never wished to run
From what the just arm of the law said
But in a dream he was warned
There was danger just ahead
So he packed what he could carry
And he lit out in the dark
Leaving all his life behind him
With a bounty unjustly marked
It was early in the morning
When they came to take him in
The crime would be for something
That he never really did
With shotguns they busted down the doors
To take him dead or alive
But even though they moved quickly
Nobody could ever find
John Bear-a-hare
John Bows
Whoo hoo hoo
Whoo hoo hoo
Many men tried to bring him in
For a profit or a name
But John was quick and fox-like
Leaving them all on a wild chase
Just when they thought they had him
Penned up beyond the bend
John would cover his tracks
Leaving them alone on some dead end
From the ridges of Kentucky
To the hills of Tennessee
All through the endless hunting
Nobody'd ever reach
John Bear-a-hare
John Bows
Whoo hoo hoo
Whoo hoo hoo
A story came from Wyoming
Where winter had set in
A plot was schemed by four
Bad and desperate men
While one challenged John in the streets
Three hid behind some doors
But when the shots rang out and the smoke cleared,
All but John lay dead on the floor
Some say he died thereafter
From the damage the bad had done
But others say they seen him
On his way to Oregon
John Bear-a-hare
John Bows
Whoo hoo hoo
Whoo hoo hoo
Now many say old John is dead
But most, they just don't know
Some seen him up in Alaska
Others swear they seen him in New Mexico
One thing they all agree on
That he was a goodly man
Only out to keep himself alive
In a country with other plans
Some people knew him as John Bear
And others as John Bows
fact is, his name and whereabouts
Most folks'll never know
John Bear-a-hare
John Bows
Whoo hoo hoo
Whoo hoo hoo
