Ann-Marita - Black Bear
They called her "Black Bear"
By the color of her hair
And that she was as strong as any man along the iron ore railway line
The legends vary
Some say she was a virtuous woman
Some say she'd satisfy her hunger for whatever you may have in mind
★ Chorus ★
And she drove the men wild
And the women got riled up
With fight in their eyes waiting to see who'd be the one
Who'd cut Black Bear down to size
★ Verse 2 ★
The story goes
She lost her heart to the wrong man
And her life to the woman who had claimed him for her own
And she earned her name
The way she fought for her life
That fateful night on the wrong end of a fatal blow
★ Chorus ★
And she drove the men wild
And the women got riled up
With fight in their eyes waiting to see who'd be the one
Who'd cut Black Bear down to size
★ Bridge ★
Now there's a wooden cross that simply says "Anna"
Reaching tall, but it might not be where her body's laid to rest
After all
Maybe they buried her outside the graveyard line
Where the sinners lay
Outside the line is where she spent her time
Anyway
★ Chorus ★
And she drove the men wild
And the women got riled up
With fight in their eyes waiting to see who'd be the one
Who'd cut Black Bear down to size
★ Outro ★
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
They called her "Black Bear"
By the color of her hair
