Lyrics:
It was the time of the preacherWhen the story beganOf the choice of a ladyAnd the love of a manAnd how he loved her so dearlyHe went out of his mindWhen she left him for someoneShe'd left behindHe cried like a babyHe screamed like a pantherIn the middle of the nightAnd he saddled his ponyAnd he went for a rideIt was the time of the preacherIn the year of '01Now the preaching is overAnd the lesson's begunBut he could not forgive herThough he tried and he tried and he triedAnd the halls of his memoryStill echo her liesHe cried like a babyHe screamed like a pantherIn the middle of the nightAnd he saddled his ponyAnd he went for a rideIt was the time of the preacherIn the year of '01Now the lesson is overAnd the killing's begunIt was the time of the preacherIn the year of '01When you think it's all overIt's only begun
