Preacher And The Bear - Rufus Thomas[00:00:00]
A preacher he went huntin'[00:00:11]
It was on a Sunday morn'[00:00:14]
Of course it was against his religion[00:00:17]
He took his gun along[00:00:20]
Shot some very fine quail[00:00:22]
One little measly hare[00:00:25]
On his way returning home[00:00:28]
He met a great big grizzly bear[00:00:30]
Bear walked around stood on the ground[00:00:33]
He walked straight to the preacher you see[00:00:36]
Preacher got so excited[00:00:39]
And then he ran up a Sycamore tree[00:00:41]
Bear walked around stood on the ground[00:00:45]
The preacher crawled out on a limb[00:00:47]
Cast his eye to the Lord above[00:00:50]
And these are words he said to Him[00:00:53]
He said "Oh Lord oh Lord Lord[00:00:55]
You delivered Daniel in the lion's den[00:01:07]
Samson strong and the hundred men[00:01:09]
Hebrew children in the furnace of fire"[00:01:12]
"David went to kill the lion[00:01:15]
The good book do declare[00:01:18]
But Lord if they don't help me[00:01:21]
Don't You help this big black bear"[00:01:23]
The preacher stayed up in that tree[00:01:39]
I think it was all night[00:01:42]
Said "Oh Lord if You don't help me[00:01:44]
Treat us both alright"[00:01:47]
Just about that time the limb let go[00:01:50]
The preacher come tumblin' down[00:01:53]
You should've seen him getting that razor out[00:01:55]
Before he struck the ground[00:01:58]
He struck the ground cuttin' left and right[00:02:01]
He put up a very good fight[00:02:04]
About that time the bear told the preacher[00:02:07]
Just hold him a little too tight[00:02:10]
Preacher lost the razor[00:02:12]
Bear held on with the ber[00:02:15]
Cast his eye to the Lord above[00:02:18]
Once more prayed to Him[00:02:20]
He said "Oh Lord oh Lord[00:02:23]
Oh Lord oh oh oh Lord[00:02:34]
You remember Daniel in the lion's den[00:02:45]
Samson strong and the hundred men[00:02:48]
Hebrew children in the furnace of fire"[00:02:51]
"David went to kill old lion[00:02:54]
The good book do declare[00:02:56]
Oh oh oh Lord[00:02:59]
If You if You if You don't help me[00:03:07]
Put a muscle on this big black bear"[00:03:17]
Boy boy the preacher[00:03:21]
The preacher and the bear[00:03:23]
Boy boy the preacher[00:03:26]
The preacher and the bear[00:03:29]
Boy boy the preacher[00:03:32]
The preacher and the bear[00:03:34]
Boy boy the preacher[00:03:37]
The preacher and the bear[00:03:40]
Boy boy the preacher[00:03:42]
The preacher and the bear[00:03:45]
