Lyrics for Song: Brother Shelton
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Brenda Lee
(B.Anthony - B.Morrison)
He was tall and he was handsome
And he preached the holy word
And the women of Wayne County
Would all melted at what they heard
He preached heaven for the sinner
Through salvation from above
But the ladies came to hear him
For the way he talked of love.
Brother Shelton, Brother Shelton
Well, you seem to understand
You were kind and you were gentle
With the word at your command
And your very much a man.
I was young and I was aching to be loved by my first man
I was frightened by feelings and I knew he'd understand
So he took me in his strong arms and melted me one night
Saying feelings all from heaven
Darling love always right.
Brother Shelton, Brother Shelton well
You seem to understand
You were kind and you were gentle
With the word at your command
Brother Shelton, Brother Shelton
Will you hold this poor girls' hand
You were wise and you were tender
And your very much a man.
Yes, he loved me and I knew that
I had his baby deep inside
But nobody would believe me
He already had a bride
They'd just say that I was lying
I'd be punished for my sin
So there's nothing left but leaving
With a lesson learned from him.
Brother Shelton, Brother Shelton
Now this poor girl understands
That you preach a different sermon
When you touch a woman's hand
Brother Shelton, Brother Shelton
Praying at your preachers stand
But the Lord and I know different
Your just another man.
Brother Shelton, Brother Shelton
Now this poor girl understands
That you preach a different sermon
When you touch a woman's hand
Brother Shelton, Brother Shelton
Praying at your preachers stand
But the Lord and I know different
Your just another man...
