Billy Ray was a preacher's [A] son and when his daddy would [E] be there to come along
When they'd gather round they'd start a talking [B] one
That's when Billy would take me walking
Out through the backyard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
[E] The only one who could ever teach [A] me
Was a [E] son of a preacher man
Only boy who could ever [A] reach me
Was a [E] son of a preacher man
You see he was, [B] he [A] was
Oh you know he [C#m] was
[E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Being good isn't always easy
[A] No matter [E] how hard I try
When he started sweet talking to [B] me
Telling me everything is alright
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
Can I get away?
The _ [E] _
only one who could ever [A] teach me
Was a [E] son of a preacher man
Only boy who could ever [A] teach me
Was [E] a son of a preacher man
You see he was, [B] he [A] was
Oh you know he was

No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet talking to me
Telling me everything is alright
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
[B] Can I get away?
Taking time to make time
Telling me that he's all [E] mine
And from each other's knowing
Looking to see how much we've [A] grown
He _ [D] never teach me
