I'm somewhere making my midnight creep
Nurse cried, "Please save his soul
But little girls understand
Something tell me, I got to go
I eats mo' chicken any man seen
Killed him for murder, first degree
They take me to the doctor, shot full o' holes
I am a back door man
Every morning the rooster crow
I am a back door man
I am a back door man
"Don't take him down, rather be dead
Stand out there, cop's wife cried
When everybody's sound asleep
Well the men don't know
Judge's wife cried, "Let the man go free!"
Well the men don't know
But the little girls understand
I am a back door man
Six feets in the ground when you come home
You can eat pork and beans"
Well the men don't know
I am a back door man
But little girls understand
