The Preacher And The Bear

Well, a preacher went out a-hunting. It was on one Sunday morn. And although against his religion, he took his gun Along. He shot himself some very fine quail and One little measly hare. And on his way returning home, He met a great big grizzly bear. The bear marched out in the middle of the Road, right up to the preacher, you see. The preacher got so excited that he climbed up A salmon tree. The bear sat down upon the ground, And the preacher climbed out on a limb. He cast his eyes to the Lord in sky, And these words he said to Him. Oh Lord, you delivered Daniel from the lions' den. Also delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale And then. Three Hebrew children from the fiery Furnace, from the Good Book do declare. And now, Lord, if you don't help me, for Goodness' sakes, don't you help that bear. The preacher stayed up in that tree, I think it was all night. He said, "Oh Lord, if you don't help me, You're gonna see one awful fight." About that time, a limb let go, And the preacher came tumbling down. You ought to see him get his razor out Before he hit the ground. He hit the ground cutting right and left. He put up a heckling fight. Then the bear hugged that preacher and squeezed him A little too tight. The preacher lost his razor, but the bear held On with vim. He cast his eyes to the Lord in the sky, and these words he said To Him. Oh Lord, you delivered Daniel from the Lions' den. Also delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale And then. Three Hebrew children from the fiery Furnace, from the Good Book do declare. And now, Lord, if you don't help me, for Goodness' sakes, don't you help that bear. Now, Lord, if you don't help me, for goodness' Sakes, don't you help that bear. Oh, Mr. Bear, let me ask you one thing. If I give you just one or two little Bites, will you promise not to eat me? Oh, oh, Oh Lord. You delivered, uh, Daniel from the lions' den. Also delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale And then. Three Hebrew children from the fiery Furnace, from the Good Book do declare. And now, Lord, if you don't help me, For goodness' sakes, don't you help that bear. Now, Lord, if you don't help me, for goodness' Sakes, don't you help that bear.
