The Bear Went Over the Mountain (song)
"The Bear Went Over the Mountain" is a campfire song sung to the tune of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow", which, in turn, got its melody from the French tune "Malbrough s'en va-t-en guerre" (Marlborough is going to war).
The public domain lyrics are of unknown origin.
Bing Crosby included the song in a medley on his 1961 album 101 Gang Songs.
