Time of the Preacher

[Verse]

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

That 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

He 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

[Spanish guitar outro]
