Key: C# minor
Verse 1
Yes she was
Oh, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm
She said, the Reverend partook
of my lovely body
The Reverend said, Judge, she lied
The Judge said, listen, I'll do the talking
And the court's gonna justify,
yes, they will
Oh, hm, hm,
Sweatin' and makin' threats
Fellow sittin' next to me said,
I know that preacher's guilty
They ain't even tried him yet, I said, son
And he preached all over the bottom land
Well, the judge called the court to order
He defense, will you state
your case?
walked to the jury box,
had a stern look on his face.
One by one, he pointed to the jury, said,
the reverend picked cotton by your side.
He blessed your children
the day they was born.
And he cried when your mama died.
I've seen him all, oh, Lord,
the judge said, now listen here,
said
I've known the reverend all his life, said
And he got shot up so bad back
during the war
that it couldn't even take him a while
Now y 'all know what I'm
talkin' about,
don't ya? Uh -huh, uh -huh
But his life is layin' on the line
But there ain't no way on
God's green earth
That the Reverend could
have done this crime
And he preached all over
the bottom land
Spoke so a child could understand
