Once I had a sweetheart
She said that she′d be mine
But she run around with the other men
Drank whiskey, drinkin' wine
Once I caught her steppin′
She thought I'd gone away
So just as soon as she got home
Here's what I had to say
Mama, I′m a bearcat papa
There′s nothing I won't do
So you better stop cheatin′ on your daddy
Or I'm gonna hang a claw in you
So this is your last warning
Good gal, you better reform
′Cause mama, I'm a bearcat papa
I was borned in the middle of a storm
Mama, I′m a bearcat papa
And if you can't stay at home
I'll find another wampus kitty
And it won′t take me long
So if you wanna keep your daddy
You better stop your runnin′ around
'Cause mama, I′m a bearcat papa
And I won't be treated like a hound
Mama, I′m a bearcat papa
I come from way out west
Out where the hoot owls yodel
Out where the moon shines best
So if you wanna keep your daddy
I'll find one to take your place
Mama, I′m a bearcat papa
And I come from a bearcat race
'Cause mama, I'm a bearcat papa
And I come from a bearcat race
