Well the Preacher went a-huntin'
|
On a Sunday morn
|
Though it was against his religion
|
He took his gun along
|
|
Shot himself some very fine quail
|
One big weaselly hare
|
And on the way returnin' home
|
He met a grizzly bear
|
|
Well the bear marched out in the middle of the road
|
Up to the Preacher, you see
|
Preacher got so excited
|
Climbed up a cinnamon tree
|
|
Well the bear sat down on the ground
|
Preacher out on a limb
|
He turned his eyes to the Lord in the skies
|
These words he said unto Him
|
|
He said, "Oh Lord!
|
Didn't you deliver Daniel from the Lions' Den?
|
A-men!
|
Jonah from the belly of a whale and then
|
Three hebrew children from the fiery furnace
|
The good book do declare
|
Oh, Lord
|
If you can't help me, please don't help that bear."
|
|
The Preacher stayed up in that tree
|
I think it was all night
|
He said, "Oh Lord, don't help that bear
|
Or you'll see an awful fight!"
|
|
Just about then the limb let go
|
Preacher came a-tumblin' down
|
You shoulda seen him get his razor out
|
Before he hit the ground
|
|
He hit that ground cuttin' right to left
|
Put up a very good fight
|
Just then the bear hugs this man
|
Squeezed him a little too tight
|
|
Well the Preacher lost his razor
|
But the bear hung on to him
|
He turned his eyes to the Lord in the skies
|
These words he said unto Him
|
|
He said, "Oh Lord!
|
Didn't you deliver Daniel from the Lions' Den?
|
A-men!
|
Jonah from the belly of a whale and then
|
Three hebrew children from the fiery furnace
|
The good book do declare
|
Oh, Lord
