歌曲歌詞
Now a preacher went out walking
Was on one Sunday morn
It was against his religion
But he took his gun along
He shot himself some mighty fine quail
And one little measly hare
But on his way returning 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
And looked that preacher right square in the eye
And the preacher looked at him and said bye-bye
Started down the road and took out to run
The bear right after that preacher did come
Run and they run for about a mile
Then they both sat down and rested awhile
The preacher got up - started again
The bear he started out with more vim
They ran and they ran til he spotted a tree
Said up on the limb is the place for me
The bear got close - made a grab for him
Preacher leaps up and he made the limb
Pulled himself up and turns about
Cast his eyes to the skies and he did shout
Oh law you delivered Daniel from the lion's den
Also delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then
The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace
So the good book do declare
Yes lord if you can't help me
For goodness sake don't help that bear
Just about then the limb let go
And the preacher came tumbling down
Reached in his pocket pulled his razor out
Just before he hit the ground
He 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-cutting left and right
Well they rolled around on the ground
The preacher was up and then he was down
The bear let out an awful moan
It looked like the preacher was holding his own
Lord if I get out of here alive
That good book I will abide
I'll never sin on Sabbath day
And Sunday come I'll pray and pray
To the heavens he did glance
Said lord just gimme one more chance
Then his suspenders gave away
And he knocked that bear ten feet away
Then the preacher got up and made a bound
To the tree where he'd be safe and sound
Pulled himself up and turned about
Cast his eyes to the skies and he did shout
Oh law you delivered Daniel from the lion's den
Also delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then
The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace
So the good book do declare
Yes lord if you can't help me
For goodness sake don't help that bear
