ARTIST: John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins TITLE: Son of a Preacher Man Lyrics and Chords
[Capo 2]
Billy Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered 'round and started talking That's when Billy would take me walking Through the backyard we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows to my surprise

{Refrain} The only one who could ever reach me Was a son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was a son of a preacher man Yes he was, he was, ooh yes he was
/ D - / G D / : / D A G - /
Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I tried When he started sweet talking to me He'd come tell me everything is all right He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right Can I get away again tonight
{Refrain}
Yes he was How well I remember The look that was in his eyes Stealing kisses from me on the sly Taking time to make time Telling me that he's all mine Learning from each others knowing Looking to see how much we'd grown

The only one who could ever reach me He was a sweet talking son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me I guess he was a son of a preacher man The only one who could ever reach me Sweet talking son of a preacher man The only one who could ever reach me Was a son of a preacher man The only one who could ever reach me Was a son of a preacher man
