Jimmie Ray was a preacher's son
And when his papa would visit you know he'd come
His paw and mine'd be in the parlor talking
And Jimmie would always take me walking
Out through the backyard we'd go walking
And then he'd look into my eyes and
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son-of-a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son-of-a preacher man
Yes he was, he was ooh
Being good isn't always easy
Even when the cotton's high
Oh but whenever I'd get uptight
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
And can I sneak away again tonight
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son-of-a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son-of-a preacher man
Yes he was, he was ooh
Oh how well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Taking time to make time
Telling me that he is all mine
Learnin' from each oth
