Subject: Lyr Req: Baptise The Bear - Song Snippet
At the Wayne Henderson/Herb Key concert last night, Herb sang a
country tune that ended with the punch line about Preacher
"Baptising the Bear".

The basic storyline was about a Preacher climbing a tree to avoid
the critter. A dialogue with his Maker about sparing the preacher's
life. A broken limb, a fight with the bear (using a razor) and a
wrestling match that ends in the river. And what a way to "Baptise
the Bear".

OK Mudcat....take it away.
