Son Of A Preacher Man

Verse 1
        FBilly Ray was a preacher's son
        And when his Bdaddy would visit he'd Fcome along
        When they'd gather 'round and started talking
        C7That's when Billy would take me walking
        A-through the back yard we'd go walking
        Then he'd look into my eyes
        Lord knows to my surprise

        Yes he was, he Cwas, Bmmm, yes he was


Verse 2

        Being good isn't always easy
        No matter how hard I'd 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
