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
