A preacher, he went huntin' |
|
It was on a Sunday morn' |
|
Of course it was against his religion |
|
He took his gun along |
|
Shot some very fine quail |
|
One little measly hare |
|
On his way returning home |
|
He met a great big grizzly bear |
|
Bear walked around, stood on the ground |
|
He walked straight to the preacher, you see |
|
Preacher got so excited |
|
And then he ran up a Sycamore tree |
|
Bear walked around, stood on the ground |
|
The preacher crawled out on a limb |
|
Cast his eye to the Lord above |
|
And these are words he said to Him |
|
He said, "Oh Lord, oh, Lord, Lord |
|
You delivered Daniel in the lion's den |
|
Samson strong and the hundred men |
|
Hebrew children in the furnace of fire" |
|
"David went to kill the lion |
|
The good book do declare |
|
But Lord, if they don't help me |
|
Don't You help this big black bear" |
|
The preacher stayed up in that tree |
|
I think it was all night |
|
Said, "Oh Lord, if You don't help me |
|
Treat us both alright" |
|
Just about that time the limb let go |
|
The preacher come tumblin' down |
|
You should've seen him getting that razor out |
|
Before he struck the ground |
|
He struck the ground cuttin' left and right |
|
He put up a very good fight |
|
About that time the bear told the preacher |
|
Just hold him a little too tight |
|
Preacher lost the razor |
|
Bear held on with the [Incomprehensible] |
|
Cast his eye to the Lord above |
|
Once more prayed to Him |
|
He said, "Oh Lord, oh Lord |
|
Oh Lord, oh, oh, oh Lord |
|
You remember Daniel in the lion's den |
|
Samson strong and the hundred men |
|
Hebrew children in the furnace of fire" |
|
"David went to kill old lion |
|
The good book do declare |
|
Oh, oh, oh Lord |
|
If You, if You, if You don't help me |
|
Put a muscle on this big black bear" |
|
Boy, boy, the preacher |
|
The preacher and the bear |
|
Boy, boy, the preacher |
|
The preacher and the bear |
|
Boy, boy, the preacher |
|
The preacher and the bear |
|
Boy, boy, the preacher |
|
The preacher and the bear |
|
Boy, boy, the preacher |
|
The preacher and the bear |
