Time of the Preacher Songtext
von 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' 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
