(e) let me tell you 'bout a preacher,
With a cane and a long tailed coat, (e7)
Let me (a) tell you 'bout a preacher,
With a cane and a long tailed (e) coat,
But he (b7) does all his preachin',
With his eyes on the women - (e) folk.
Chorus
(e) send him back, send him back, where he (e7) was be - (a) fore,
He's a (b7) two-faced man, and we don't want him here no (e) more.
Well he preached about gamblin', said it's a sin and it's a shame,
Yes he preached about gamblin', said it's a sin and it's a shame,
But when i met him in a alley, he won my watch and chain.
Repeat chorus
Well he preached about liquor, said leave the stuff alone,
Yes he preached about liquor, said leave the stuff alone,
But then i saw a deacon, totin' the preacher home.
Repeat chorus
Well he preached about wedlock, the finest thing in life,
Yes he preached about wedlock, the finest thing in life,
But then i saw the preacher, kissin' brother jackson's wife.
Repeat chorus
