Back Door Man (Album Version)

I-I-I am the, the backdoor man

I-I-I am, the backdoor man

Well, the men don＇t know

But the little girls they understand

When ev＇rybody is-a tryin＇ to sleep

I＇m-a somewhere makin＇ my midnight creep

An ev＇ry mo＇nin when the rooster crows

He＇s tellin＇ me that it＇s the time to go

I am, the backdo＇ man

I am, the backdo＇ man

Well, the men don＇t know

But the little girls they understand

(harmonica & instrumental)

Well, they took me to the doctor

Shot full of holes

The nurse she cried, ＇Save his soul!＇

I was ＇cussed of murder in first degree

The judge wife cried, ＇Let the man go free!＇

I am, the backdo＇ man

I am, the backdo＇ man

Well, the men don＇t know

But the little girls they understand, mmm

(guitar & instrumental)

I was accussed a-murder in the first degree

The judge wife cried, ＇Let the man go free!＇

The cop＇s wife cried, ＇Don＇t take him down

I＇d-a rather be in six feet of ground!＇

I am, the backdo＇ man

I am, the backdo＇ man

Well, the men don＇t know

But the little girls they understand

(piano & instrumental)

I am, the backdo＇ man

I am, the backdo＇ man

Well, the men don＇t know

But the little girls they understand

(bass & instrumental)

＇Ooh!＇

I am, the backdo＇ man

I am, the backdo＇ man

Well, the men don＇t know

But the little girls they understand

＇Ooh!＇

(instrumental all to end)

I am

I am

I-I-I am

The backdo＇ man.
