The Preacher

They used to call him the preacher this was true

For he would preach from his heart 'bout the only way he knew

He'd stand up there in the pulpit horn in his hand

And let that melody take you to the promised land

I played one hymn for the ladies one for the men

Then I would turn right around and play 'em both again

When they all got to singin' and clappin' hands

I had the swinginest convocation in the land

Gather 'round and hear the preacher hear the preacher hear the preacher preacher man

Go preacher go

Go preacher go

Now the sermon was over he'd leave the town

And travel on to the next to lay his gospel down

So bow your head and we'll join in one mighty chord

To say a prayer for the preacher gone to his reward

Yes man
