Son of a Preacher Man

The only one

The only one

Yes he was

He Was

Oh yes he was

Billy Ray was the preacher's son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gathered 'round and started talkin'

That's when Billy would take me walkin'

To the back yard we'd go walkin'

When he looked into my eyes

Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one

Was the son of a preacher man

The only one

Was the son of a preacher man

He Was

He Was

Oh yes he was

Oh-oh-oh I warn you

I knew

The look in his eyes

Takin' time to make time

Tellin' me that he's all mine

Learnin' from the knowin'

Look how we are growin'

The only one who could ever reach me

The only one who could ever teach me

Yes he was

He Was

Oh yes he was
