Paul Austin Kelly - Claire's Song lyrics

Where's he gone now? Oh, no! Not there! He's jumped into the hedgerow! My Black Bear How am I going to fetch him Out of there? It's as thorny as a cactus My Black Bear I'll tear my pretty trousers My new pair They'll be holy as a Swiss cheese My Black Bear I'll skin my lovely elbows White and fair Such a sight I'll be to see then My Black Bear I'll have a dozen burdocks In my hair Then no one will want to kiss me My Black Bear I'll prob'ly die an old maid A lot you care I'll just leave you in that hedgerow My Black Bear (Instrumental solo) Ah here, give us your paw then Come to Claire Or else my bed is empty My Black Bear
