The Preacher And The Bear Lyrics - Funky Chicken - Rufus Thomas

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 

Photos 

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
