Cumberland Mountain Bear Chase Pete Seeger

[Chorus]
Away, away, we're bound for the mountain
Bound for the mountain, bound for the mountain
Over the hills, the fields and the fountain
Away to the chase, away, away

[Verse 1]
Rover, Rover, see him, see him
Rover, Rover, catch him, catch him
Over the mountain, the hills and the fountain
Away to the chase, away

[Verse 2]
Now all was set just right for the race
The old hound dogs are ready for the chase
The bears are a-bounding; the horns are a-sounding
Over the trail that leads to the mountain
Over the mountain, the hills, and the fountain
Away to the chase, away, away

[Verse 3]
Listen to the hound dogs' heavy bay sounding high over the way
All night long 'til the break of dawn, merrily, the chase goes on
Over the mountain, the hills and the fountain
Away to the chase, away
