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

(b-ss & 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.
