Mi
Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
La Mi
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talkin'
Si7
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A-through the backyard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
Mi
The only one who could ever reach me
La Mi
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
La Mi
Was the son of a preacher man
Si
Yes he was, he was
La Mi7
Ooh, yes he was
Mi
Being good isn't always easy
La Mi
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
Si7
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?
Mi
The only one who could ever reach me
La Mi
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
La Mi
Was the son of a preacher man
Si7
Yes he was, he was
La Mi
(Ooh...) Lord knows he was
Re
Yes he was
La
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Si7
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Mi7
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we've grown
La
And the only one who could ever reach me
Re La
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Re La
Was the son of a preacher man
Mi7
Yes he was, he was
Re7
Ooh, yes he was
La
The only one who could ever reach me
Re7 La
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Re7 La
I kissed the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever move me
Re7 La
The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever groove me
Re7 La Re7 La Re7 La
Ahh, ooh, ahh....
