Son Of A Preacher Man-Bobbie Gentry

Billy 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 Athrough the back yard we'd go walkin Then he'd look into my eyes 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 he was oooh 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 Can I 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 he was oh yes he was How well I remember The look that was in his eyes Stealin kisses from me on the sly Takin time to make time Tellin me that he's all mine Learnin from each other's knowing Lookin to see how much we've grown And 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 he was oh yes he was And the only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me
