Artist/Band: Jan Howard
Lyrics for Song: Son of a Preacher Man
Lyrics for Album: Jan Howard [Decca] [1969]



(Ronnie Wilkins - John Hurley)



Willy Ray was a preacher's son.



And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gathered round and started talkin'

That's when Billy would take me walkin'

Out through the backyard we'd go walkin'

And then he'd look into my eyes

And Lord knows to my surprise.



The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, yes he was, hmm, yes he was

Being good isn't always easy.



no matter how hard I try

When he started sweet talkin' to me

he'd come and tell me everything is all right

He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right

And can we get away again tonight.



The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, yes he was, hmm, yes he was

Being good isn't always easy...
