Walkin' Jim Stoltz It Ain't Easy Bein' An Old Grizzly Bear
G G7
1) When I was a little bitty baby, My Moma called me
Sam,
C C7 G
I was cute and little, and cozy and cuddly, But today
that's not the way I am.
G C7
Cause as I grew I got kind of big, And my teeth and
claws did too,
D G
Now, nobody likes to be around me, Cause they think
they might get chewed!
Chorus: C
Cause when I'm walking down the trail without a care,
D D7
All the critters start a-shakin' and runnin' scared
C C7
People are shouting, you better beware,
D D7
And screaming and trembling in absolute terror,
C D G
It ain't easy, It ain't easy, Being an old grizzly
bear!
2) Some folks call me ornery, others call me mean,
But I'm lots bigger than they are, And I don't care
what they scream.
I'd rather just go fishing, Or lay in the shade all
day,
Or slide on down an old snow field,If them people just
stay away!
(Chorus)
3) Mostly I like berries, but sometimes meat will do,
But that don't mean I'll drop my veggies, And start in
after you.
Yeh, most folks call me grumpy, But Mom still calls me
Sam,
I'd rather just be left alone, Because that's the kind
of bear I am!
(Chorus)
