Well, the men don't know
When everybody's tryin' to sleep
Well, the men don't know
I am, the back door man
The cop's wife cried don't take him down
I am, the back door man
The judge's wife cried, let the man go free
But the little girls they understand
But the little girls they understand
I'm somewhere making my, midnight creep
Well, the men don't know
I am, the back door man
Well, the men don't know
Well, the men don't know
I am, the back door man
The nurse she cried, save his soul
Well, they took me to the doctor, shot full of holes
But the little girls they understand
But the little girls they understand
I was accused of murder in the first degree
I'd rather be in six feet of ground
I am, the back door man
The judge's wife cried, let the man go free
I am, I am
I am, the back door man
But the little girls they understand
I am, the back door man
I am, the back door man
And every morning, when the rooster crow
I was accused of murder in the first degree
He's telling me that it's the time to go
