God's Own Drunk By: Lord Buckley 1974 "Well,Página
like I explained to y'all before I ain't no
drinkin' man. I tried it once, and it got me
highly irregular and I swore I'd never do it
again. But I promised my brother-in-law that I'd
go up and watch his still while he went into town
to vote. It was up there on the mountain where the
map said it would be. Friends let me tell you one
thing though, it wadn't no ordinary still. It
stood up that mountainside like... like a huge
golden opal. God's yellar moon was a' shinin' on
the cool clear evenin', God's little lanterns just
a' twinklin' on and off in the heavens and, like I
explained to you once before, I ain't no drinkin'
man, But, temptation got the best of me, and I
took a slash... (wshew!... woah...) That yellar
whiskey runnin' down my throat like honeydew vine
water, and I took another slash. Took another and
another and another. 'fore you knew it I'd downed
one whole jug o' that shit and commenced to get
hot flashes. Goosepimples was runnin' up and down
my body and a feelin' came over me like, somethin'
I'd never experienced before, It's like, like I
was in love, ("why don't we have a little
love Mike [Utley] ") In love for the first
time, with anything that moved... animate,
in-animate it didn't matter. It's like there's a
great neon sign flashin' on and off in my brain
sayin, "Jimmy Buffett there' a great day a
comin'..." 'Cause I was drunk. Now I wadn't,
uh, knee-crawlin', slip-slidin', reggy-youngin',
commode-huggin' drunk, I was God's own drunk, and
a fearless man; And that's when I first saw the
bear. He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout 19 feet
tall he rambled up over the hill 'spectin' me to
do one of two things: flip or fly, I didn't do

either one. It hung him up. He starts sniffin'
'round my body tryin' to smell fear, but he ain't
gonna smell no fear, 'cause I'm God's own drunk
and a fearless man. It hung him up. He looked me
right in my eyes and my eyes was a lot redder than
his was. It hung him up. So I approached him and I
said, "Mr. Bear, I love every hair on your 27
acre body. I know you got a lotta friends over
there on the other side of the hill. There's ole'
Rear Bear, Tall Bear, Freddy Bear, Kelly Jair,
Relly Bear, Smelly the Bear, Smokey the Bear,
Pokey the Bear; I want you to go back over there
tonight and tell 'em I'm feelin' right. You tell
'em I love each and every one of 'em like a
brother and a sister; but if they give me any
trouble tonight, I'm gonna run every Goddamned one
of 'em off the hill." He took two steps
backwards and didn't know what to think. Neither
did I, but, being charitable and cautious, well
hell, I approached him again. I said, "Mr.
Bear, you know in the eyes of the Lord, we're both
beasts when it comes right down to it. So I want
you to be my buddy, 'Buddy Bear.'" So I took
ole' Buddy Bear by his island sized paw and I led
him over to the still. Now he's a' sniffin' around
that thing 'cause he's smellin' somethin' good. I
gave him one of them jugs of honeydew vine water,
he downed it upright, (looked like one of them
damn bears in the circus sippin' sasparilly in the
moonlight.) I gave him another and another and
another 'fore I knew it, he'd downed eight of 'em
and commenced to do the "bear dance."
Two sniffs, a snort, a fly, a turn and a grunt;
and it was so simple like the jitterbug it plumb
evaded me. And we worked ourselves into a
tumultuous uproar and I's awful tired, went over
to the hillside, and I laid down, went to sleep,
slept for four hours, and dreamt me some tremulous
dreams And when I woke up, Oh, there was God's
yellar moon a' shinin' on the clear cool evenin'.
And God's little lanterns just a' twinklin' on and
off in the heavens, And my buddy the bear was a'
missin'... yeah, you want to know somethin' else
friends and neighbors, so was that still. --
Spoken: "That's a take. Wait, could
uh.....you missed it?"
