Let me tell you 'bout a preacher
With a cane and a long tailed coat
Let me tell you 'bout a preacher
With a cane and a long tailed coat
But he does all his preachin'
With his eyes on the women folk

Send him back, send him back
Where he was before
He's a two-faced man
And we don't want him here no more

Well he preached about gamblin'
Said it's a sin and it's a shame
Yes he preached about gamblin'
Said it's a sin and it's a shame
But when I met him in a alley
He won my watch and chain

Send him back, send him back
Where he was before
He's a two-faced man
And we don't want him here no more

Well he preached about liquor, said leave the stuff alone
Yes he preached about liquor, said leave the stuff alone
But then I saw a deacon, totin' the preacher home

Send him back, send him back
Where he was before
He's a two-faced man
And we don't want him here no more

Well he preached about wedlock, the finest thing in life
Yes he preached about wedlock, the finest thing in life
But then I saw the preacher, kissin' brother jackson's wife

Send him back, send him back
Where he was before
He's a two-faced man
And we don't want him here no more
