"Time Of The Preacher" lyrics
It was the time of the preacher
When the story began
With the choice of a lady
and the love of a man
How he loved her so dearly
he went out of his mind
When she left him for someone
she'd left behind
He cried like a baby
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night
And he saddled his pony
and went for a ride
It was the time of the preacher
in the year of 01
Now the preachin' is over
and the lesson's begun
[Guitar music]
When the story began
With the choice of a lady
and the love of a man
How he loved her so dearly
he went out of his mind
When she left him for someone
she'd left behind
He cried like a baby
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night
And he saddled his pony
and went for a ride
It was the time of the preacher
in the year of 01
Now the preachin' is over
and the lesson's begun
[Guitar music]
