Bil-ly-Ray was a Preach-er's son,
when his dad-dy would vis-it
he'd come a-long,
When they gath-ered round
and start-ed talk-ing,
Cous-in Bil-ly would take me walk-ing,
Through the back yard we'd go walk-ing,
Then he'd look in-to my eyes,
Lord knows to my sur-prise:
chorus-
The on-ly one who could ev-er reach me,
Was the son of a preach-er man,
The on-ly boy who could ev-er teach me,
Was the son of a preach-er man,
Yes he was, he was -, oh
Chorus....
How well I re-mem-ber,
The look that was in his eyes-,
Steal-ing kiss-es from me on the sly,
Tak-ing time to make time,
Tell-ing me that he's all mine -,
Learn-ing from each oth-er's knowing,
Look-ing to see how much we'd grown-.
