Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics - Liza With A "z": A Concert For Television [live] - Liza Minnelli

Sweet talkin' Jimmy Ray was the son of a preacher man 

Yes, he was now 

That man, that Jimmy Ray 

Was a preacher man's son 

Yes, he was now 

Jimmy Ray was a preacher's son 

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along 

When they gathered 'round the parlour talkin' 

Cousin Jimmy would take me walkin' 

Through the back woods we'd go walkin' 

Then he'd look into my eyes 

Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me 

Was the son of a preacher man, yeah 

The only boy who could ever teach me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

Yes he was

He was 

(Was) 

Ooh, yes he was 

Bein' good isn't always easy 

No matter how hard I try 

When he started his sweet-talkin' to me 

He'd come and tell me, "Everything is all right" 

Kiss and tell me, "Everything is all right 

Can you get away again tonight?"

The look that was in his eyes 

Stealin' kisses from me on the sly 

Takin' time to make time

Tellin' me that he's all mine

Learnin' from each other's knowin' 

And watchin' to see how much we've grown
