[00:01.10]The preacher went out a huntin'
[00:02.85]It was on one Sunday morn'
[00:05.32]It was against his religion
[00:07.61]But he took a shotgun along
[00:09.25]He got himself a mess o' mighty fine quail and one old scraggly hare
[00:14.32]And on the way home he crossed the path of a great big grizzly bear
[00:18.59]Well the bear got down lookin' ready to charge
[00:23.44]The preacher never seen nothin' quite that large
[00:26.60]They looked each other right smack in the eye
[00:29.48]Didn't take that preacher long to say bye
[00:31.41]The preacher
[00:32.36]He run till he spotted a tree
[00:35.42]He said
[00:36.33]Up in that tree's where I oughta be
[00:38.61]By the time that bear made a grab for him
[00:41.39]The preacher was a sittin' on top a that limb
[00:44.84]Scared to death
[00:46.08]He turned about
[00:47.71]He looked to the sky and began to shout
[00:50.67]Hey lord
[00:51.72]You delivered daniel from the bottom of the lion's den
[00:55.28]You delivered jonah from the belly of the whale and then
[00:59.80]The hebrew children from the fiery furnace
[01:03.35]So the good books do declare
[01:06.36]Hey lord
[01:07.34]If you can't help me
[01:13.45]For goodness sake don't help that bear
[01:16.32]Yea
[01:16.66]Look out preacher
[01:19.07]Well
[01:19.75]About that time the limb broke off
[01:23.20]And the preacher came tumblin' down
[01:24.84]Had a straight razor out of his pocket
[01:27.40]By the time he lit on the ground
[01:29.24]He landed on his feet right in front a that bear
[01:31.77]And lord
[01:32.62]What an awful fight
[01:34.56]The preacher and the bear and the razor and the hair
[01:37.71]Flyin' from left to right
[01:39.64]Well first they was up and then they was down
[01:43.66]The preacher and the bear runnin' round an' round
[01:47.39]The bear he roared
[01:49.16]And the the preacher he groaned
[01:50.83]He was havin' a tough time holdin' his own
[01:55.46]He said
[01:55.89]Lord if I get out a here alive
[01:58.55]To the good book I'll abide
[02:00.35]No more huntin' on the sabbath day
[02:02.57]Come Sunday I'm headin' to the church to pray
[02:04.80]Up to the heavens the preacher glanced
[02:06.93]He said
[02:07.57]Lord won't you give me just one more chance
[02:09.66]So the preacher got away
[02:11.30]He looked around
[02:12.42]Seen a tree where he'd be safe and sound
[02:18.09]Jumped on a limb
[02:18.81]Turned about
[02:19.38]Looked to the sky and began to shout
[02:22.98]Hey lord
[02:24.77]You delivered daniel from the bottom of the lion's den
[02:29.10]You delivered jonah from the belly of the whale and then
[02:34.05]The hebrew children from the fiery furnace
[02:40.03]So the good books do declare
[02:41.92]Hey lord
[02:42.72]If you can't help me
[02:45.03]For goodness sake don't help that bear
