Story behind the song
A traveling preacher abuses his power over the young ladies in his congregation.
Lyrics
He came to town in an old schoolbus that he'd painted red, white and blue On the back bumper was a hand-lettered sign that said, "Jesus loves you." He started in preaching 'bout the fiery place when his brimstone eyes spied a pretty young face Look out, Mary, Brother Crocker's in town to save a young girl like you I heard tell when he left Boone County that he left with another man's wife But some folks say he can pray away your pain or even save a sick child's life But when he starts struttin' and a sweatin' and a preaching The young girl's bodies start aching and a reaching Look out, Mary, Brother Crocker's in town to save a young girl like you He casts out demons and he heals the lame But I hear a young girl's never quite the same When Bother Crocker that preacher man Gets to the part where he's layin' on hands Look out, Mary, Brother Crocker's in town to save a young girl like you My sweet Mary was an innocent thing, she'd never been kissed before When Brother Crocker made the church choir sing and told her what he had in store Her eyes grew wide then he took her hand and said he would lead her to the promised land Look out, Mary, Brother Crocker's in town to save a young girl like you I walked out back when the meetin' was through but Mary could not be found Then the thunder crashed and the lightening flashed and there on the blanket on the ground I saw red coals where his eyes should be and Mary giving him what she'd been saving for me Look out, Mary, Brother Crocker's in town to save a young girl like you He casts out demons and he heals the lame But my sweet Mary won't be the same I saw Brother Crocker that preacher man Holding Mary and layin' on hands Look out, Mary, Brother Crocker's in town to save a young girl like you
