[Chorus]
E                E7
I am a back door man,
E                E7
I am a back door man,
E
Well the men don't know,
E
But the little girls understand.


[Verse 1]
E
When everybody's sound asleep,
E
I'm somewhere making my midnight creep,
E
Yes in the morning, the rooster crow,
E
Something tells me I got to go.


[Chorus]
E                E7
I am a back door man,
E                E7
I am a back door man,
E
Well the men don't know,
E
But the little girls understand.


[Verse 2]
E
They take me to the doctor,
E
Shot full o' holes,
E
Nurse cried, please save the soul,
E
Killed him for murder, first degree,
E
Judge's wife cried, let the man go free.


[Chorus]
E                E7
I am a back door man,
E                E7
I am a back door man,
E
Well the men don't know,
E
But the little girls understand.


[Instrumental]

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


[Outro]
E                E7
I am a back door man,
E                E7
I am a back door man,
E                E7
I am a back door man,
E
I am a back door man.
