Marieke - Son Of A Preacherman

Billy Ray was a preacher`s son
and when his daddy would visit he`d come along
When they gathered round and started talking
cousin Billy would take me walking
Through the backyard we`d go walking
Then he`d look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
was a son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
was a son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh yes he was

Being good isn`t always easy,
No matter how hard I tried,
When he started sweet talking to me,
He`d come tell me everything is alright,
He`d kiss and tell me everything is alright,
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
was a son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
was a son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh yes he was
Yes he was

How well I remember,
The look that was in his eyes,
Stealing kisses from me on the sly,
Taking time to make time,
Telling me that he`s all mine,
Learning from each others knowing,
Looking to see how much we`d grown.

The only one who could ever reach me
was a son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
was a son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh yes he was

The only one who could ever reach me
He was a sweet talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
I guess he was a son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever reach me
Sweet talking son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever reach me,
was a son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever reach me,
was a son of a preacher man
