[Chorus]
A A7
I am a back door man,
A A7
I am a back door man,
A
Well the men don't know,
A
But the little girls understand.
[Verse 1]
A
When everybody's sound asleep,
A
I'm somewhere making my midnight creep,
A
Yes in the morning, the rooster crow,
A
Something tells me I got to go.
[Chorus]
A A7
I am a back door man,
A A7
I am a back door man,
A
Well the men don't know,
A
But the little girls understand.
[Verse 2]
A
They take me to the doctor,
A
Shot full o' holes,
A
Nurse cried, please save the soul,
A
Killed him for murder, first degree,
A
Judge's wife cried, let the man go free.
[Chorus]
A A7
I am a back door man,
A A7
I am a back door man,
A
Well the men don't know,
A
But the little girls understand.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A
When everybody’s trying to sleep,
A
I’m somewhere making my midnight dream,
A
Every morning the rooster crows,
A
Something tells me I got to go.
[Outro]
A A7
I am a back door man,
A A7
I am a back door man,
A A7
I am a back door man,
A
I am a back door man.
