Lyrics

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
