Tony Joe White Backwoods Preacher Man Lyrics

INTRO: G A G A
#1.
Way down in the country, back in the Arkansas woods..
there's a man there working for Jesus tryin' to do
some good.
He don't have no fancy building, just a big ol' raggedy
tent and the people who come to see him believe he was
Heaven sent.
CHORUS:
Backwoods preacher man, doin' the best he can.
Backwoods preacher man, tryin' to give the Lord a hand.
#2.
When you hear him talk about Jesus, you know they're
the best of friends.
Just one look and you can tell, he will give the devil
hell and help you wash away your sins.
CHORUS:
Backwoods preacher man, doin' the best he can.
Backwoods preacher man, tryin' to give the Lord a hand.
INTERLUDE: Am7 A Am7
#3.
Let me tell everybody, tremble down to his shoes..
when you hear that backwoods preacher singin' those gospel
blues.
CHORUS:
Backwoods preacher man, doin' the best he can.
Backwoods preacher man, tryin' to give the Lord a hand.
CHORUS:
Backwoods preacher man, doin' the best he can.
Backwoods preacher man, tryin' to give the Lord a hand.
OUTRO:
Backwoods preacher man..backwoods preacher man..
backwoods preacher man..(Fade.)
