E5E5 D5D5
Well
I was born an original sinner

There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin, hey!

My mama told me good, my mama told me strong

E5E5 D5D5
But there's just one thing that you must understand
E5E5 D5D5
You can fool with your brother

Verse 3:
E5E5
Well, the missionary man, he's got God on his side
E5E5
He's got saints and apostles backing up from behind

Black eyed looks from those Bible books
E5E5
He's a man with a mission, got a serious mind
E5E5
There was a woman in the jungle and a monkey on a tree
E5E5 E5E5
The missionary man, he was following me
A5A5
He said, "Stop what you're doing? Get down upon your knees!"
N.C.
"I've a message for you that you better believe"
