Biography:
The longest active professional brother duet in the history of bluegrass and country music and a pioneering first-generation act in bluegrass music. Deep in the mountains of southwest Virginia still stands the white aging farmhouse Jim & Jesse first called home. Raised in the small community of Carfax, located near Coeburn, VA, the boys grew up in a family steeped in traditional mountain music. This background made it natural for them to follow in the footsteps of their grandfather Charlie McReynolds

[G] High on the mountain, tell me what you see
Bear tracks, bear tracks [C] lookin' back at [G] me
Better get your rifle boys, 'fore it's too late
'Cause a bear's got a little pig and [C] headed thru the [G] gate.
CHORUS
He's [D] big around the middle and he's [G] broad across the rump
Runnin' [D] ninety miles an hour takin' [G] thirty feet a jump
Ain't never been caught, he ain't never been tree'd
Some folks say he looks a [C] lot like [G] me.
I saved up my mon' and I bought me some bees
And they started makin' honey way up in the trees
Cut down the tree but my honey's all gone
Ole Slew-Foot's done made himself at home.
CHORUS
Winter's comin' on and it's twenty below
And the river's froze over so where can he go
We'll chase him up the gulley then we'll run him in the well
We'll shoot him in the bottom just to listen to him yell.
