Lyrics
Time Of The Preacher
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
