I was born an original sinner
I was born from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill

For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin


My mother told me good
My mother told me strong

She said be true to yourself
And you can't go wrong
But there's just one thing

That you must understand
You can fool with your brother
But don't mess with a missionary man


Don't mess with a missionary man
Don't mess with a missionary man


Well the missionary man
He's got God in his side

He's got the saints and apostles
Backin' up from behind
Black eyed looks from those Bible books

He's a man with a mission
Got a serious mind
There was a woman in the jungle

And a monkey on a tree
The missionary man he was followin' me
He said stop what you're doing

Get down upon your knees
I've a message for you that you better believe


Don't mess with a missionary man

I was born an original sinner

I was born from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done

There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin


Don't mess with a missionary man
