[00:00.59]The preacher went out a huntin' it was on one Sunday morn'
[00:05.68]It was against his religion
[00:07.48]But he took a shotgun along
[00:09.35]He got himself a mess o' mighty fine quail and one old scraggly hare
[00:14.40]And on the way home he crossed the path of a great big grizzly bear
[00:20.24]Well the bear got down lookin' ready to charge
[00:23.34]The preacher never seen nothin' quite that large
[00:26.67]They looked each other right smack in the eye
[00:29.37]Didn't take that preacher long to say bye
[00:31.81]The preacher he run till he spotted a tree
[00:36.17]He said Up in that tree's where I oughta be
[00:38.97]By the time that bear made a grab for him
[00:41.80]The preacher was a sittin' on top a that limb
[00:45.26]Scared to death he turned about
[00:47.03]He looked to the sky and began to shout
[00:51.05]Hey lord you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den
[00:55.67]You delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then
[01:00.33]The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace
[01:03.76]So the good books do declare
[01:06.76]Hey lord if you can't help me
[01:11.35]For goodness sake don't help that bear
[01:15.72]Yea look out preacher
[01:17.27]Well about that time the limb broke off
[01:21.71]And the preacher came tumblin' down
[01:23.73]Had a straight razor out of his pocket
[01:26.26]By the time he lit on the ground
[01:28.53]He landed on his feet right in front a that bear
[01:32.78]And Lord what an awful fight
[01:35.11]The preacher and the bear and the razor and the hair
[01:38.45]Flyin' from left to right
[01:40.10]Well first they was up and then they was down
[01:44.29]The preacher and the bear runnin' round an' round
[01:48.27]The bear he roared
[01:49.84]And the the preacher he groaned
[01:52.11]He was havin' a tough time holdin' his own
[01:54.59]He said Lord if I get out a here alive
[01:58.58]To the good book I'll abide
[02:00.80]No more huntin' on the Sabbath day
[02:03.02]Come Sunday I'm headin' to the church to pray
[02:06.60]Up to the heavens the preacher glanced
[02:10.18]He said Lord won't you give me just one more chance
[02:13.80]So the preacher got away he looked around
[02:16.82]Seen a tree where he'd be safe and sound
[02:20.52]Jumped on a limb turned about
[02:22.90]Looked to the sky and began to shout
[02:26.20]Hey lord you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den
[02:30.35]You delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then
[02:34.80]The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace
[02:38.35]So the good books do declare
[02:41.03]Hey lord if you can't help me
[02:44.29]For goodness sake don't help that bear
