Lyrics
Missionary Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was born an original sinner
I was born from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
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
Don't mess with a missionary man
I was born an original sinner
I was born from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin
Don't mess with a missionary man
