                         A
It was the time of the preacher
                  E
When the story began
                      B
With the choice of a lady
                   E   E7
And the love of a man

                     A
How he loved her so dearly
                    E
He went out of his mind
                       B
When she left him for someone
              E    E4  E
She'd left behind

                 A   A4  A
He cried like a baby
      A4            A                            E
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night
                    B
And he saddled his pony
                E
And went for a ride

                         A
It was the time of the preacher
