[Verse 1]
 
E
We were out having our Jamboree
                            B
In a little clearing in the dogwood trees
B
Eatin’ biscuits and black-eyed peas
                E
Piping hot and steamin’
 
E
Black Bear Mama came out of her den
                     B
Left the little ones 8, 9, 10
B
Sayin’ don’t you worry I’ll come back again
                           E
And we’ll have supper this evenin’
 
[Chorus]
 
         A                  E
She eats honey, from a honeybee
                B                          E
She eats it on biscuits, but she don’t eat me
 
[Verse 2]
 
E
Black Bear Mama going round the woods
                               B
Lookin’ for something that’ll taste so good
B
Black Bear Mama playin’ Robin Hood
                         E
To feed her poor little children
 
E
When she found us she looked pretty mean
                         B
And we didn’t feel like makin’ a scene
B
So we made a donation of pork and beans
                   E
Before we got our fillin’
 
[Bridge] speed up on 2nd time

                                     E
seeka dubba yoosa cuz a bear’s gonna find you
 
E
You better run from the foldy rolly tilly tolly
                                     B

[Chorus]
 
          A                 E
She eats honey, from a honeybee
                B                         E
She eats it on biscuits, but she don’t eat me
 
[Verse 3]
 
E
Black Bear Mama went back to her den
                        B
To feed her little ones 8, 9, 10
B
They ate it all up in a gulp, and then
                       E
In a minute they were snoring
 
E
But Black Bear Mama had a hungry pack
                          B
Our campfire cookin’ was just a snack
 
They woke up mama, said you better go back
                    E
For hotcakes in the morning
 
[Chorus]
         A                E
They ate honey, from a honeybee
                B                        E
They ate it on biscuits, but they didn’t eat me
 
        A                               E
They ate honey, they ate the black-eyed peas
              B                            E
They ate some biscuits, but they didn’t eat me
