I am a hunter by profession	A
And when I make this confession	A
Of what I saw with mine own eyes	B
It may cause you some surprise	B
	-
But we at once now you do warn	C
That this is not a made up yarn	D
It happened in the interior	E
Far north of Lake Superior	E
	-
When up the hill setting my traps	F
I heard on trees peculiar raps	F
It made me then attentive hark	G
And then I heard pulling off the bark	G
	-
It was a bright and pleasant day	H
The distance was three miles away	H
And it caused me but slight alarm	I
When they around bark placed each arm	I
	-
And threw the bark o'er their shoulder	E
I being a distant beholder	E
Knew not what end they had in view	J
But I must own my wonder grew	J
	-
When I saw those men were warm dressed	K
With good fur robe each one was blessed	K
In single file they marched up hill	L
With strangest thoughts my mind did fill	L
	-
When each man in his robe began	M
With tough bark to make toboggan	A
And quick as lightning down they slide	N
It seemed to me a dangerous ride	N
	-
The spot was covered o'er with hairs	O
And it seem'd mixed with blood of bears	O
And my two dogs Bull and Daisy	P
At sight and scent of it went crazy	P
	-
Could none of these been a true man	M
Or was I gross deceived by bruin	Q
It was a long and glassy slide	N
Reached far up the mountain side	N
	-
They had been first enjoying the fun	A
Of sliding down on their bare skin	Q
Until their hide was getting worn	C
And their flesh was somewhat torn	C
	-
So Bear invented Toboggan	A
Which is a blessing to young man	M
And the fair maiden by his side	N
For both enjoy the pleasant ride	N
