[opens very soft and slow, to the tune of Mona/She's the One]



I got a date with the preacher's daughter

She give me life she bring me water.

Every Sunday I watch her work

Pretty little (siff?) in a pretty little church

Daddy gives her nod she takes collection

Daddy gives her nod she kneels by her side.

Well I'd sell my soul for just one touch

The Lord would too if he loved her half as much.



Well I got a date with the preacher's daughter.

Her Daddy say that the boy's no good

Just want to raise some (coons?) out through the back woods

Well baby better believe what your Daddy say

Just wanna ramrod baby my life away.

It's a long walk to heaven and a road filled with sin

And they better open up the freeway to let me in.



'Cuz I got a date with the preacher's daughter

Well now I don't care what the preacher say

Haaaaayyyy 

[IDENTICAL to "Haaaaayyyy, Mona"]

Well now I don't care what the preacher do

Haaaaayyyy

I don't care what the preacher like

Haaaaayyyy

I don't care what the preacher think

Haaaaayyyy

Leads me to water but won't let me drink.

He leads me to water but won't let me drink.

(Big Man)



[maracas start, music picks up, Bruce starts yelling]



And now it's (whole little world?) on Saturday night

Two boys fighting in a halo of light

Car door flung open and a radio loud

And everybody shouting and running around.

Two guys bloody and one I don't know

And all little girls shouting "Go Billy go"

Go Billy go.



Well just as I got the preacher's daughter ready for a light

And (missed a VH fire?) and something ain't right.

And like a she-devil howlin' from the gates of hell

Goddam here come the preacher in his Coupe DeVille

Burnin' up the backroad kicking in the dirt

And oh baby preacher thinks he is church

Well now your lips they shine in the willow mist

And I swear I'd take you down (young croft?) for just one kiss



I got a date with the preacher's daughter

I got a date with the preacher's daughter

And it's haaaaayyyyoooo

I got a date with the preacher's daughter

hmmmmm...
