Jimmie Rodgers - The Preacher

Well gather round me children
Here's a story that is true
Here's a story about a preacher and his congregation too
Here's a story that he tells them about the times and days of yore
And if you listen listen real close
You're gonna hear the people all cry for more

Well Noah was an old old man
And he stumbled all around in the dark
And he grabbed himself a little hammer
And he built himself a little ark
And along came the animals
They were walking in two by two
Was the elephant and the lion
And the king king kangaroo
Oh tell us more, tell us more
Oh tell us more, dear preacher tell us more

Well david was a young young man
And his heart was solid like a block
And he slooms over great big giant
With a slingshot and a rock
And the people all gathered all around him
And uh oh they all began to shout
Well cut his head off david
Gonna roll it all about
Oh tell us more, tell us more
Oh tell us more, dear preacher tell us more

Well daniel was a young young man
And he wasn't gonna mind the king
Well the king said I won't stand
For any little such a thing
So he put him in a man hole there
There were lions walking underneath
Daniel he was a dentist
And he pulled all the lions teeth
Oh tell us more, tell us more
Oh tell us more, dear preacher tell us more

Oh tell us more, tell us more
Oh tell us more, dear preacher tell us more
