Why Is A Fire Engine Red Lyrics - The Johnny Cash Children's - Johnny Cash

Kevin Jones said, there's a bear in the woods 

and if you don't believe it, 

just ask Wesley Orbison and Lance Johnson, 

'cause they saw him, too. 

I was drivin' my jeep across the field 

and when I came in to the edge of the woods, 

I saw Kevin Jones, 

comin' down out of a tread. 

I stopped my jeep 

and Kevin jumped up on the running board 

and there it's when he said, 

there's a bear in the woods. 

And I looked right at Kevin 

and I said, now Kevin, tell me the truth. 

And he looked at me right in the eye, 

he said, I'm not kiddin' you, Uncle John, 

he said, there's a bear in the woods. 

And if you don't believe it, 

just ask Wesley Orbison and Lance Johnson, 

'cause they saw him, too. 

I kept on lookin' right at Kevin and I said, 

now tell me truth, Kevin. 

He said, it is, it's a bear, it's a black bear. 

He said, it's not a big bear, but it's a bear, 

it's a black bear. 

I've seen him goin' down the trail there. 

I kept on lookin' at Kevin and I got to thinkin'. 

Now Kevin Jones said, there's a bear in the woods. 

Kevin was seven years old and I'm a lot older than he is. 

And I've done a lot of things that he hadn't done. 

And one of those things that I've done that he hadn't, is to lie. 

So I got to thinkin', if Kevin Jones says, 

there's a bear in the woods, who am I to doubt it. 

Well, I kind o' grinned at Kevin 

and he jumped down off of the running board 

and I started my jeep back up 

and headed down the road in the woods. 

As I went away, 

I hollered back at Kevin and I said, 

hey Kevin, watch out for that bear in the woods!
