| Lyrics: | Writer, hank williams
(e) let me tell you 'bout a preacher,
With a cane and a long
tailed coat, (e7)
Let me (a) tell you 'bout a preacher,
With a cane and a long tailed (e)
coat,
But he (b7) does all his preachin',
With his eyes on the women - (e)
folk.
Chorus
(e) send him back, send him back, where he (e7) was be - (a)
fore,
He's a (b7) two-faced man, and we don't want him here no (e) more.
Well he
preached about gamblin', said it's a sin and it's a shame,
Yes he preached about gamblin', said
it's a sin and it's a shame,
But when i met him in a alley, he won my watch and
chain.
Repeat chorus
Well he preached about liquor, said leave the stuff
alone,
Yes he preached about liquor, said leave the stuff alone,
But then i saw a deacon,
totin' the preacher home.
Repeat chorus
Well he preached about wedlock, the finest
thing in life,
Yes he preached about wedlock, the finest thing in life,
But then i saw the
preacher, kissin' brother jackson's wife.
Repeat chorus |
