《The Preacher And The Bear》歌词

[00:00:00] The Preacher And The Bear - Jerry Reed

[00:00:07] The preacher went out a huntin' it was on one Sunday morn'

[00:00:11] It was against his religion but he took a shotgun along

[00:00:15] He got himself a mess o' mighty fine quail and one old scraggly hare

[00:00:19] And on the way home he crossed the path of a great big grizzly bear

[00:00:23] Well the bear got down lookin' ready to charge

[00:00:25] The preacher never seen nothin' quite that large

[00:00:27] They looked each other right smack in the eye

[00:00:29] Didn't take that preacher long to say bye

[00:00:31] The preacher he run till he spotted a tree

[00:00:33] He said "Up in that tree's where I oughta be"

[00:00:35] By the time that bear made a grab for him

[00:00:37] The preacher was a sittin' on top a that limb

[00:00:39] Scared to death he turned about

[00:00:41] He looked to the sky and began to shout

[00:00:43] "Hey lord you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den

[00:00:47] You delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then

[00:00:51] The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace

[00:00:53] So the good books do declare

[00:00:55] Hey lord if you can't help me

[00:00:57] For goodness sake don't help that bear"

[00:01:03] Yea look out preacher

[00:01:06] Well about that time the limb broke off

[00:01:07] And the preacher came tumblin' down

[00:01:10] Had a straight razor out of his pocket

[00:01:12] By the time he lit on the ground

[00:01:14] He landed on his feet right in front a that bear

[00:01:16] And Lord what an awful fight

[00:01:18] The preacher and the bear and the razor and the hair

[00:01:20] Flyin' from left to right

[00:01:22] Well first they was up and then they was down

[00:01:24] The preacher and the bear runnin' round an' round

[00:01:26] The bear he roared and the the preacher he groaned

[00:01:28] He was havin' a tough time holdin' his own

[00:01:30] He said "Lord if I get out a here alive

[00:01:32] To the good book I'll abide

[00:01:34] No more huntin' on the Sabbath day

[00:01:35] Come Sunday I'm headin' to the church to pray"

[00:01:37] Up to the heavens the preacher glanced

[00:01:39] He said "Lord won't you give me just one more chance"

[00:01:42] So the preacher got away he looked around

[00:01:43] Seen a tree where he'd be safe and sound

[00:01:45] Jumped on a limb turned about

[00:01:47] Looked to the sky and began to shout

[00:01:49] "Hey lord you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den

[00:01:54] You delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then

[00:01:57] The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace

[00:01:59] So the good books do declare

[00:02:01] Hey lord if you can't help me

[00:02:04] For goodness sake don't help that bear"
