Missionary Man
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. "
