Перевод песни Eurythmics - Missionary man

Well I was born an original sinner.

I was borne 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 on his side.

He’s got the saints and apostles

Backin’ up from behind.

Black eyes 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”.

Well I was born an original sinner.

I was borne 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.

Don’t mess with a missionary man.
