Now a preacher went out walkin'
Was on one Sunday morn'
It was against his religion
But he took his gun a-long
He shot himself some mighty fine quail
And one little "measly" hare
But on his way returnin' home
He met a great big grizzly bear;
Well, the bear got down in the middle of the road
On all fours like a great big toad
Cast his eyes to the skies and he did shout;
"Oh, Lawd, you delivered Daniel from the lion's den
Also delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale and then
The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace
So the good book do declare
Yes! Lord, if you can't help me,
For goodness sake don't help that bear."
Just about then the limb let go
