Well I was born an original sinner
I was born from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin

My mother told me good
My mother told me strong
She said: Be true to yourself
And you can't go wrong
But there's just one thing
That you must understand
You can fool with your brother
But don't mess with a missionary man

Don't mess with a missionary man
Don't mess with a missionary man

Well the missionary man
He's got God on his side
He's got the saints and apostles
Backin' up from behind
Black eyed looks from those Bible books
He's a man with a mission
Got a serious mind
There was a woman in the jungle
And a monkey on a tree
The missionary man he was followin' me
He said: Stop what you're doing
Get down upon your knees
I've got a message for you
That you better believe

Well I was born an original sinner
I was born from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money

Don't mess with a missionary man

A missionary man

Don't mess with a missionary man
