The Preacher And The Bear

A preacher, he went huntin
It was on a Sunday morn
Of course it was against his religion
He took his gun along
Shot some very fine quail
One little measly hare
On his way returning home
He met a great big grizzly bear
Bear walked around, stood on the ground
He walked straight to the preacher, you see
Preacher got so excited
And then he ran up a Sycamore tree
Bear walked around, stood on the ground
The preacher crawled out on a limb
Cast his eye to the Lord above
And these are words he said to Him
He said, 'Oh Lord, oh, Lord, Lord
You delivered Daniel in the lions den
Samson strong and the hundred men
Hebrew children in the furnace of fire'
'David went to kill the lion
The good book do declare
But Lord, if they dont help me
Dont You help this big black bear'
The preacher stayed up in that tree
I think it was all night
Said, 'Oh Lord, if You dont help me
Treat us both alright'
Just about that time the limb let go
The preacher come tumblin down
You shouldve seen him getting that razor out
Before he struck the ground
He struck the ground cuttin left and right
He put up a very good fight
About that time the bear told the preacher
Just hold him a little too tight
Preacher lost the razor
Bear held on with the [Incomprehensible]
Cast his eye to the Lord above
Once more prayed to Him
He said, 'Oh Lord , oh Lord
Oh Lord, oh, oh, oh Lord
You remember Daniel in the lions den
Samson strong and the hundred men
Hebrew children in the furnace of fire'
'David went to kill old lion
The good book do declare
Oh, oh, oh Lord
If You, if You, if You dont help me
Put a muscle on this big black bear'
