| E | | Billy Ray was a preacher's son |
|
| A | E | And when his | daddy would visit he'd | come along |
|
When they'd gather 'round and started talking |
|
| B7 | | That's when Billy would take me walking |
|
A-through the back yard we'd go walking |
|
Then he'd look into my eyes |
|
Lord knows to my surprise |
|
|
| | E | | The | only one who could ever reach me |
|
| | A | E | | | Was the son of a | preacher man |
|
| | E | | The | only boy who could ever teach me |
|
| | A | E | | | Was the son of a | preacher man |
|
| | B | A | | Yes he was, he | was, | mmm, yes he was |
|
|
Being good isn't always easy |
|
No matter how hard I'd try |
|
When he started sweet-talkin' to me |
|
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 |
|

Stealin' kisses from me on the sly |

Tellin' me that he's all mine |
|
