Dakota (the Dancing Bear) Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

Midnight touch the black hills westward on the run 

Crimson clouds to the eastward painted by the setting sun 

Oh Jesse drove the pickup I slipped to the radio 

With some good time behind us and some good times ago 

Well we pulled into the station for some water and some gasoline 

I jumped when I heard sweet Jesse from the pong when she let out of scream 

Oh come here quick I said hon grab your boots and comb your hair 

Do believe the fellow here's got an old pet dancin' bear 

Dance dance Dakota dance dance until the break of day 

Me and sweet Jesse ain't never seen a bear like that dance that well 

It's a one step two step three step four 

A bottle of soda and he'll dance some more 

Dance dance Dakota dance dance around the country store

There was set up camp in the pick up and we stayed a better day or two 

Me and my baby are ramblin' around we couldn't think of nothing better to do 

Jesse blow the mouth harp Dakota done the pack and wing 

I broke all the strings off my Fender guitar and we began to sing 

Dance dance Dakota dance... 

Dance dance Dakota dance dance around the country store
