[Chorus]
C C7
I am a back door man,
C C7
I am a back door man,
C
Well the men don't know,
C
But the little girls understand.
[Verse 1]
C
When everybody's sound asleep,
C
I'm somewhere making my midnight creep,
C
Yes in the morning, the rooster crow,
C
Something tells me I got to go.
[Chorus]
C C7
I am a back door man,
C C7
I am a back door man,
C
Well the men don't know,
C
But the little girls understand.
[Verse 2]
C
They take me to the doctor,
C
Shot full o' holes,
C
Nurse cried, please save the soul,
C
Killed him for murder, first degree,
C
Judge's wife cried, let the man go free.
[Chorus]
C C7
I am a back door man,
C C7
I am a back door man,
C
Well the men don't know,
C
But the little girls understand.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C
When everybody’s trying to sleep,
C
I’m somewhere making my midnight dream,
C
Every morning the rooster crows,
C
Something tells me I got to go.

I am a back door man.
