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' raggin' tent And the people who come to see him Believe he was heaven sent
Backwoods preacher man Doin' the best he can Backwoods preacher man Tryin' to give the Lord a hand
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
Same backwoods preacher man Doin' the best he can Backwoods preacher man Tryin' to give the Lord a hand
Let me tell everybody Tremble down to his shoes When you hear that backwoods preacher Singin' those gospel blues
Backwoods preacher man Doin' the best he can Backwoods preacher man Tryin' to give the Lord a hand
Same backwoods preacher man Doin' the best he can Backwoods preacher man Tryin' to give the Lord a hand
Backwoods preacher man Backwoods preacher man Backwoods preacher man.
