Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics

Son Of A Preacher Man lyrics

(Sweet talkin' Jimmy Ray-ay was the so-o-on of a preacher man-an, yes he was
now-ow

That ma-a-an, that Jimmy Ray-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay 

Was a preacher
man's son, yes he was, now-ow-how)



Jimmy Ray was a preacher's
son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they
gathered 'round the parlour talkin'

Cousin Jimmy would take me walkin',
Through the back woods we'd go walkin'

Then he'd look into my eye-eyes,
Lord knows, to my surprise



The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man, yeah

The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was (was), he was (was), ooh-ooooh,
yes he was



Bein' good isn't always easy, No matter how hard I
try

When he started his sweet-talkin' to me, He'd come'n tell me
Everything is all right

Kiss and tell me Everything is all right, Can you
get away again tonight?



The only one who could ever reach me, Was
the son of a preacher man, yeah

The only boy who could ever teach me, He
was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was (was), he was (was), ooh-ooooh,
yes he was



How well I remember, The look that was in his eyes 

Stealin' kisses from me on the sly-y

Takin' time to make time (make
time), Tellin' me that he's all mine (all mine)

Learnin' from each
other's knowin', And watchin' to see how much we've grown 



The
only boy who could ever reach her, Was the son of a preacher man, yeah

The only boy who could ever teach her, He was the sweet talkin' son of a
preacher man

Yes he was (yeah), he was (yeah), oooh-oh-oh-oh yes he
was



The only one who could ever reach me, Was the son of a
preacher man, yeah

The only boy who could ever teach me, Was the son of a
preacher man
