Time of the Preacher

It was the time of the preacher

When the story began

With 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

He cried like a baby

He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night

And he saddled his pony

and 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
