Preacher Boy Lyrics
Jeanne Burns / Billie Holiday He was lanky and tall as a beanpoleAnd he wind fanned my heart to a flameAs he looked to the skyAnd there's no wonder whyFor Preacher Boy was his nameWith his old yaller dog there beside himAnd his eyes throwin' sparks in the sunI grew faint from the heatFrom my heart to my feetWhen I knew Preacher Boy was the oneThen he didn't say muchHe's the silent kindBut his arms were strongJust the same as his mindAnd my knees grew weakAs I clung to himMy Preacher Boy, my Preacher BoyBut he heard the callNow he's left meFor his faith was stronger than IAnd thought we are apartYet he's still in my heartMy Preacher Boy, my Preacher BoyMy wonderful Preacher Boy
Billie Holiday Preacher Boy
