The preacher went out a huntin', it was on one Sunday morn'

And on the way home he crossed the path of a great big grizzly bear
Verse 2:

G2
Didn't take that preacher long to say bye

The preacher, he run till he spotted a tree
G2
He said, "Up in that tree's where I oughta be"

By the time that bear made a grab for him

The preacher was a sittin' on top a that limb
G2
Scared to death, he turned about
G2
He looked to the sky and began to shout
Chorus:

"Hey lord, you delivered Daniel from the bottom of the lion's den
A7A7 D7D7
You delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then
G+G
The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace

So the good books do declare

Hey lord, if you can't help me,
A7A7 D7D7 G+G
For goodness sake don't help that bear"

Well, about that time the limb broke off and the preacher came tumblin' down
A7A7 D7D7
Had a straight razor out of his pocket by the time he lit on the ground
G+G C majorC G+G
He landed on his feet right in front a that bear and Lord, what an awful fight
E7E7 A7A7 D7D7 G+G
The preacher and the bear and the razor and the hair just flyin' from left to right
Verse 4:

Well first they was up and then they was down

The preacher the bear runnin' round an' round
G2
The bear he roared, and the the preacher he groaned
G2
Havin' a tough time holdin' his own!
G2
He said, "Lord if I get out a here alive
G2
Then to the good book I'll abide
G2
No more huntin' on the Sabbath day
G2
Come Sunday I'm headin' to the church to pray"
G2
Up to the heavens the preacher glanced
G2
He said, "Lord won't you give me just one more chance"
G2
So the preacher got away, he looked around
G2
Seen a tree where he'd be safe and sound
G2
Jumped on a limb, turned about
G2
Looked to the sky and began to shout

You delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then

So the good books do declare

Hey lord, if you can't help me,
