I-I-I am the, the backdoor man | |
I-I-I am, the backdoor man | |
Well, the men don't know | |
But the little girls they understand | |
When ev'rybody is-a tryin' to sleep | |
I'm-a somewhere makin' my midnight creep | |
An ev'ry mo'nin when the rooster crows | |
He's tellin' me that it's the time to go | |
I am, the backdo' man | |
I am, the backdo' man | |
Well, the men don't know | |
But the little girls they understand | |
(harmonica & instrumental) | |
Well, they took me to the doctor | |
Shot full of holes | |
The nurse she cried, 'Save his soul!' | |
I was 'cussed of murder in first degree | |
The judge wife cried, 'Let the man go free!' | |
I am, the backdo' man | |
I am, the backdo' man | |
Well, the men don't know | |
But the little girls they understand, mmm | |
(guitar & instrumental) | |
I was accussed a-murder in the first degree | |
The judge wife cried, 'Let the man go free!' | |
The cop's wife cried, 'Don't take him down | |
I'd-a rather be in six feet of ground!' | |
I am, the backdo' man | |
I am, the backdo' man | |
Well, the men don't know | |
But the little girls they understand | |
(piano & instrumental) | |
I am, the backdo' man | |
I am, the backdo' man | |
Well, the men don't know | |
But the little girls they understand | |
(bass & instrumental) | |
'Ooh!' | |
I am, the backdo' man | |
I am, the backdo' man | |
Well, the men don't know | |
But the little girls they understand | |
'Ooh!' | |
(instrumental all to end) | |
I am | |
I am | |
I-I-I am | |
The backdo' man. | |
