Legend Of The Lady Bear Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

Gather round me boys and fill your coffee cups 

I'll tell you all a story while you drive them trucks 

A story bout a girl who joined the state patrol 

The legend of the Lady Bear is how it goes 

She married some young trucker she was in her teens 

And like all newly weds they had their hopes and dreams 

And one night in a snowstorm so the story went 

She lost her loving husband in an accident 

They say she sat and cried for him a year or more 

And all she did was think of him and walk the floor 

She'd lie there in her bed at night alone and cold 

Until one day she joined the highway state patrol

Well they say she has a CB and she's on the air 

And she goes by the handle of the Lady Bear 

She never gives a ticket and she works at night 

All she does is tell the story of her life 

I've heard some truckers say there ain't no Lady Bear 

And others say she don't work when the weather's fair 

But when the weather's bad she's on the air all night 

Begging us to slow down till the weather's right 

Well you know I love this story well it could be true 

If you're ever in a snowstorm tell you what to do 

If you should hear the Lady Bear on your radio 

Well tell her I wrote this song and said hello
