E [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] E [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.
