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 everybody 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 backdoor man
I am, the backdoor man
Well, the men don't know
But the little girls they understand

[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 backdoor man
I am, the backdoor man
Well, the men don't know
But the little girls they understand
