Well my preacher told me
back when I was only three
that I'uz gonna burn in hell
if I didn't mind my P's
and Q's. Had a nighmare
then a million more,
now I can't hardly tolerate
preachers anymore
But you can't shoot a preacher
You can't shoot a preacher
You can't shoot a preacher
or you're gonna go to jail
Can't shoot a preacher
Can't shoot a preacher
Listen up close and
hear my tale.
Well I was in a fix
back when I was only six
My preacher told me that
I was full of sin
the fires of hell
are lickin' my bones
and the devil's got my number
and he's on the phone.
But you can't shoot a preacher
Can't shoot a preacher
Can't shoot a preacher
or you're gonna go to jail
Can't shoot a preacher
Can't shoot a preacher
So listen up close.
Hear my tale
Well my preacher got mean
when I turned thirteen.
Said it was obscene just
what was on my mind.
Young boys are
one of a kind.
Now, on my way to hell
I was gonna go blind,
But you can't shoot a preacher
Can't shoot a preacher
Can't shoot a preacher
or you're gonna go to jail
Can't shoot a preacher
Can't shoot a preacher
Listen up close and
hear my tale.
Well my preacher told me
when I turned twenty three
That he needed all my money
or hell was gonna swallow me
by now I was
havin' some doubt
but I give him all my money
till my money ran out
So I shot me a preacher
I shot me a preacher
Shot me a preacher
and I'm sittin in jail
Shot me a preacher
Shot me a preacher
I didn't kill him dead,
just shot him in the tail.
Well my preacher told me
back when I was only three
that I'uz gonna burn in hell
if I didn't mind my P's
and Q's. Had a nighmare
then a million more
now I can't hardly tolerate
preachers anymore.
