Preacher And The Bear |
| 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? |
| 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? |
| Jonah from the belly of a whale and then |
| Three hebrew children from the fiery furnace |
| The good book do declare |
| Oh, Lord |
