BACK DOOR MAN

Lyrics By: Willie Dixon

I am the back door man

Well, the men don’t know

But the little girls, they understand

When everybody is a tryin’ to sleep

I’m somewhere making my midnight creep

And every morning’, when the rooster crows

He’s telling me that it’s time to go

I am the back door man

Well, the men don’t know

But the little girls, they understand

Well, they took me to the doctor

Shot full of holes

The nurses cried, “Please save his soul!”

I was accused of murder, in the first degree

The judge’s wife cried, “Let the man go free!”

I am the back door man

Well, the men don’t know

But the little girls, they understand

I was accused of murder in the first degree

The judge’s wife cried, “Let the man go free!”

The cop’s wife cried, “Don’t take him down!”

I’d rather be in six feet of ground

I am the back door man
