The Bear and the Maiden Fair Lyrics

A bear there was
A bear, a bear
All black and brown
And covered in hair

Three boys, a goat
And a dancing bear
They danced and spun
Up to the fair

How sweet she was
And pure and fair
The maid with honey
Up in her hair

He smelled her all
On the summer air
The maid with honey
Up in her hair

From there to here
From here to there
All black and brown
And covered in hair

He smelled that girl
In summer air
The bear, the bear
And maiden fair

Oh, I'm a maid
And I'm pure and fair
I'll never dance
With a hairy bear

I called the knight
But you're a bear
All black and brown
And covered in hair

From there to here
From here to there
All black and brown
And covered in hair

He smelled that girl
In summer air
The bear, the bear
And maiden fair
