Dina Carroll - Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics
Billy Ray was a preacher's sonAnd when his daddy would visit, he'd come alongWhen they gathered round and started talkingThat's when Billy would take me walkingThrough the backyard we'd go walkingThen he'd look into my eyesLord knows to my surpriseThe only one who could ever reach meWas the son of a preacher manThe only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher manYes he was, he was, oh yes he wasBeing good isn't always easyNo matter how hard I tryWhen he started sweet talking to meHe'd come and tell me everything is alrightHe'd kiss and tell me everything is alrightCan I get away again tonightThe only one who could ever reach meWas the son of a preacher manThe only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher manYes he was, he was, oh yes he wasHow well I rememberThe look that was in his eyesStealing kisses from me on the slyTaking time to make timeTelling me that he's all mineLearning from each other's knowingLooking to see how much we'd grown andThe only one who could ever reach meWas the son of a preacher manThe only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher manYes he was, he was, oh yes he was
