Lyrics
Preacher Man Joe He walked into town with a bible in his hand and ever body knew He was a man of the cross he was a preacher man, who always said hello to you You’d see him down at the old folks home playing checkers with the boys I wants seen him take a drunk man home a least a hundred times or more. (Chorus) He was preacher man Joe who said a pray for me When he was talking to the lord above in eternity Oh preacher man Joe, want you pray with me Cause I need a little helping and hand say a good word for me Joe The kids you’st to call him the preacher man, but that didn’t bother Joe none He love to tease the children, he was a big kid just having fun He’d show up at your door at the dang’st times as if God himself knew He loved to visit and eat apply pie, and say a sweet pray with you. (Chorus) He was preacher man Joe who said a pray for me When he was talking to the lord above in eternity Oh preacher man Joe, want you pray with me Cause I need a little helping and hand say a good word for me Joe I remember once a friend of mind; he was down and out and running out of time Night after night Joe sat with the man and walked him through the valley of death. Now the words he preached have all come true, You see it comes like a thief in the night for you. The preacher man gone but God lives on in the hearts of me and you. (Chorus) He was preacher man Joe who said a pray for me When he was talking to the lord above in eternity Oh preacher man Joe, want you pray with me Cause I need a little helping and hand say a good word for me Joe Written by: Larry Vannatta Registered © Socan
