The Preacher And The Bear - Rufus Thomas[00:00:00]
Written by:Arthur Collins[00:00:00]
A preacher he went huntin'[00:00:13]
It was on a Sunday morning[00:00:16]
Of course it was against his religion[00:00:19]
He took his gun along[00:00:21]
Shot some very fine quail[00:00:24]
One little measly hare[00:00:27]
On his way returning home[00:00:30]
He met a great big grizzly bear[00:00:32]
Bear walked around stood on the ground[00:00:35]
He walked straight to the preacher you see[00:00:38]
Preacher got so excited[00:00:41]
And then he ran up a Sycamore tree[00:00:43]
Bear walked around stood on the ground[00:00:46]
The preacher crawled out on a limb[00:00:49]
Cast his eye to the Lord above[00:00:52]
And these are words he said to Him[00:00:54]
He said "Oh Lord oh Lord Lord[00:00:57]
You delivered Daniel in the lion's den[00:01:08]
Samson strong and the hundred men[00:01:11]
Hebrew children in the furnace of fire"[00:01:14]
"David went to kill the lion[00:01:17]
The good book do declare[00:01:20]
But Lord if they don't help me[00:01:22]
Don't You help this big black bear"[00:01:25]
The preacher stayed up in that tree[00:01:40]
I think it was all night[00:01:43]
Said "Oh Lord if You don't help me[00:01:46]
Treat us both alright"[00:01:49]
Just about that time the limb let go[00:01:51]
The preacher come tumblin' down[00:01:54]
You should've seen him getting that razor out[00:01:57]
Before he struck the ground[00:02:00]
He struck the ground cuttin' left and right[00:02:03]
He put up a very good fight[00:02:05]
About that time the bear told the preacher[00:02:08]
Just hold him a little too tight[00:02:11]
Preacher lost the razor[00:02:14]
Bear held on with the bear[00:02:17]
Cast his eye to the Lord above[00:02:20]
Once more prayed to Him[00:02:22]
He said "Oh Lord oh Lord[00:02:24]
Oh Lord oh oh oh Lord[00:02:36]
You remember Daniel in the lion's den[00:02:47]
Samson strong and the hundred men[00:02:50]
Hebrew children in the furnace of fire"[00:02:52]
"David went to kill old lion[00:02:55]
The good book do declare[00:02:58]
Oh oh oh Lord[00:03:01]
If You if You if You don't help me[00:03:09]
Put a muscle on this big black bear"[00:03:19]
He hurt me[00:03:27]
He hurt me[00:03:30]
He hurt me[00:03:33]
He hurt me[00:03:36]
Somebody help me[00:03:39]
Somebody help me[00:03:41]
Somebody help me[00:03:44]
