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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/back-door-man-lyrics-willie-dixon.html ]
(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.
