AmWell I was born an original Csinner. 
I was bGorn from original sFin. 
And if I had a dAmollar bill 
For all the Cthings I've done 
There'd be a Gmountain of money 
Piled Fup to my chin... 
AmMy mother told me good 
My mother Ctold me strong. 
She said Be Gtrue to yourself 
And you Fcan't go wrong. 
But there's Amjust one thing 
That you must Cunderstand.
You can fool wGith your brother-
But don't mess with a Fmissionary man. 
AmDon't mess with a Emmissionary man. 
AmDon't mess with a Emmissionary man. 
Well the Ammissionary man 
He's got Cgod on his side. 
He's got the Gsaints and apostles 
Backin' Fup from behind. 
AmBlack eyed looks from those Cbible books. 
GHe's a man with a mission 
Got a Fserious mind. 
There was a Amwoman in the jungle 
And a Cmonkey on a tree. 
The Gmissionary man he were Ffollowin' me. 
He said Amstop what you're doing.
Get Cdown upon your knees. 
I've a Gmessage for you that you Fbetter believe

Am C

Well I was born an original sinner.

G F

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.

Am Em

Don't mess with a missionary man.

Am Em

Don't mess with a missionary man.

Well the missionary man

He's got god on his side.

He's got the saints and apostles

Backin' up from behind.

Am C

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.

G F

The missionary man he were followin' me.

He said stop what you're doing.

Get down upon your knees.

G F

I've a message for you that you better believe
