[E] Billy Ray was a [A] preacher's son when his daddy would [E] visit, come along
When we'd gather round [A] and start a [B]-talkin' That's the woman who'd take me walkin'
Out through the backyard we'd go walkin' Then they'd look into my eyes
Lord, most of my [E] surprise The only boy who could ever [A] teach me
Was the son of a [E] preacher man The only one who could ever [A] teach me
Was the son of a [E] preacher man You see, it was, [B] it [A] was, oh yes, it was
[E]
Being good isn't always [A] easy No [E] matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' [B] to me Come and tell me everything is alright
He'd kiss and tell me everything's alright Can I get away again [E] tonight?

How well [A] he was in his act Stealin' kisses from me on the [B] sly
Takin' time to make time Tellin' me that he's alright
