Preacher and the Bear - The Big Bopper
Composed by：J. P. Richardson
Huh oh Lord if you can't help me
For goodness sake don't help
That big fuzzy one heh-heh-heh
The preacher went out a-walkin'
Was on Sunday morn
Was against his religion
But he took his gun along
Shot himself some mighty fine quail
And one little measly hare
But on his way returnin' home
He met a great big grizzly bear
Well the bear got down
In the middle of the road
On all fours like a great big toad
He looked that preacher
Right square in the eye
The preacher looked at
Him and he said 'Bye-bye'
Started down the road
He took out to run
The bear right after
That preacher did come
He run and he run for about a mile
Then they both sat down
And they rested a while
Preacher got up started again
The bear started out with more vim
Then they ran and they
Ran 'til he spotted a tree
Said 'Up on the limb
Is the place for me'
Bear got close made
A grab at him-a
Preacher leaped up
And he made the limb
Pulled himself up
And he turned about
Cast his eyes to the sky
And he did shout
Oh Lord you delivered
Daniel from the lion den
Also delivered Jonah from
The belly of the whale and then now
The Hebrew children from
The fiery furnace
So the good book do declare
Oh Lord if you can't help me
For goodness sake don't help that bear
Well about then the limb let go
The preacher came tumblin' down
Reached in his pocket pulled his razor out
Just before he hit the ground
Hit the ground with an awful bang
It was a terrible sight
The preacher and the bear
With a razor in his hair
Just a-cuttin' left and right
They rolled around on the ground
The preacher was up and
Then he was down
The bear let out an awful moan
Looked like the preacher
Was a-holdin' his own
Man if I get outta here alive
By the good book I will abide
I'll never sin on Sabbath day
Sunday come I'll pray and pray
To the heavens he did glance
Said 'Lord just give me one more chance'
Then his suspenders gave away
He knocked that bear ten feet away
The preacher got up made a bound
To the tree where he'd be safe and sound
Pulled himself up turned about
Cast his eyes to the sky and he did shout
Oh Lord you delivered Daniel from the lion den
Also delivered Jonah from the belly
Of the whale and then yeah
The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace
So the good book do declare
Oh Lord if you can't help me
For goodness sake don't help that bear
Ha
