Missionary Man Lyrics

Missionary Man lyrics

Well I was born an original sinner 

 I was borne from original sin 

 And if I had a dollar bill 

 There'd be a mountain of money 

 Piled up to my chin... 

 My mother told me good 

 My mother told me strong 

 She said "be true to yourself 

 And you can't go wrong." 

 "But there's just one thing 

 That you must understand: 

 You can fool with your brother 

 But don't mess with a missionary man." 

 Don't mess with a missionary man 

 Don't mess with a missionary man 

 Well the missionary man 

 He's got God in his side 

 He's got the saints and apostles 

 Backin' up from behind 

 Black eyed looks from those Bible books 

 He's a man with a mission 

 Got a serious mind 

 There was a woman in the jungle 

 And a monkey on a tree 

 The missionary man he was followin' me 

 He said "Stop what you're doing 

 Get down upon your knees 

 I've a message for you that you better believe."
