Yeah here come the preacher ha ha

Well the preacher went out a huntin' it was on one Sunday morn

It was against his religion but he took a shotgun along

He got him a mess of mighty fine quail and one old scraggly 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 nothin' quite that large

They looked each other right smack in the eye

Didn't take that preacher long to say bye

The preacher he run till he spotted a tree

He said up in that tree's where I oughta be

By the time that bear made a grab for him

The preacher was a sittin' on top a that limb

Scared to death he turned about

He looked to the sky and began to shout



Hey Lord you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den

You delivered Joana from the belly of the whale and then

The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace so the good books do declare

Hey Lord if you can't help me for goodness sake don't help that bear



Yeah look out preacher

Well about that time the limb broke off and the preacher come a tumblin' down

Had a straight razor out of his pocket about the time he lit on the ground

He landed on his feet right in front a that bear and Lord what an awful fight

The preacher and the bear and the razor and the hair just a flyin' from left to right



Well at first they was up and then they was down

The preacher and the bear runnin' round and round

The bear he roared and the the preacher he groaned

Havin' a tough time a holdin' his own

He said Lord if I get outta here alive

Then to the good book I'll abide

No more huntin' on the Sabbath day

Come Sunday I'm headin' to the church to pray

Up to the heavens the preacher glanced

Said Lord won't you give me one more chance

So the preacher got away he looked around

Seen a tree where he'd be safe and sound

Jumped on a limb turned about

Looked to the sky and began to shout



Hey Lord you delivered old Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den...



No get outta here bear

Lord do somethin' for me and forget that bear

I'm tellin' ya he's big look at the size of that thing whoa

Get what are you get offa this tree

Lord help me

Are you kiddin' me with the size of that bear
