Time of the
Preacher
Lyrics and music by
Willie Nelson
It was the time of the preacher when the story began
Of 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
An' he cried like a baby
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the
night
An' he saddled his pony
An 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
[BREAK]
But he could not forgive her
Though he tried and tried and tried
And the halls of his memories
Still echo her lies
He cried like a baby
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the
night
An' he saddled his pony
An he went for a ride
It was the time of the preacher in the year of 01
Now the lesson is over and the killin's begun
[BREAK]
It was the time of the preacher in the year of 01
An' just when you think it's all over, it's only
begun |
