(e) let me tell you 'bout a preacher,

With a cane and a long tailed coat, (e7)

Let me (a) tell you 'bout a preacher,

With a cane and a long tailed (e) coat,

But he (b7) does all his preachin',

With his eyes on the women - (e) folk.



Chorus



(e) send him back, send him back, where he (e7) was be - (a) fore,

He's a (b7) two-faced man, and we don't want him here no (e) more.



Well he preached about gamblin', said it's a sin and it's a shame,

Yes he preached about gamblin', said it's a sin and it's a shame,







But when i met him in a alley, he won my watch and chain.



Repeat chorus



Well he preached about liquor, said leave the stuff alone,

Yes he preached about liquor, said leave the stuff alone,

But then i saw a deacon, totin' the preacher home.



Repeat chorus



Well he preached about wedlock, the finest thing in life,

Yes he preached about wedlock, the finest thing in life,

But then i saw the preacher, kissin' brother jackson's wife.



Repeat chorus
