Preacher And The Bear (1970)
Yeah, here comes the preacher
Well a preacher went out a-hunting it was on one Sunday morn
It was against his religion but he took a shotgun along
He got him a mess of hot time quail and one old scraggily hare
But on the way home he crossed the path of a great big grizzly bear
Well the bear got down looked ready to charge the preacher never seen nothing quite that large
They looked each other right smack in the eye it didnât take long for the preacher to say bye
The preacher he run till he spotted a tree he said up in that tree is where I ought to be
By the time that bear made a grab for him that preacher was a-sitting on top of that limb
Scared to death he turned about looked to the sky and began to shout
Hey Lord, you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lionâs den
You delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then
The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace so the good book do declare
Hey Lord if you canât help me for goodness sake donât help that bear
Yeah look out preacher
Well about that time the limb broke off and the preacher came tumbling down
Had a string fall out of his pocket about the time he hit the ground
He landed on his feet right in front of that bear and Lord what an awful fight
The preacher and the bear and the razor and the hair went flying from left to right
Well first the was up and then they was down the preacher and the bear running round and round
The bear heâd roar and the preacher he droned had a tough time holding his own
Lord if Iâd get out of here alive back to the good book Iâll abide
No more hunting on the Sabbath day come Sunday Iâm heading for church to pray
Up to the heavens the preacher glanced said Lord wonât you give me just one more chance
So the preacher got away and looked around seen a tree where heâd be safe and sound
Jumped on a limb and turned about looked toward the sky and began to shout
Hey Lord, you delivered old Daniel from the bottom of the lionâs den
You delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then
The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace so the good book do declare
Hey Lord if you canât help me that donât do nothing for that bear
No get outta here bear Lord do something for me and forget that bear
Iâm telling you. Heâs big. Look at the size of that thing
Ohâ¦justâ¦whatâ¦are yeaâ¦Get off of this tree
Lordâ¦help meâ¦are you kidding me with the size of that bear
