Preacher's Daughter

by Ben Grace

/

lyrics

You Wrote a note and caught my eye
It passed from hand to hand
And worked its way on down the aisle
Your mother dear, one step ahead,
Intervened & tore those tender words to shreds
And I wondered what the preacher's daughter said

After the dance, your sweet sixteen
You grab my hand and dragged me out behind the cemetery
Your mouth was warm, your cheeks were red
Then your daddy came a-roarin and we fled
And I wondered what the preacher's daughter said

Years roll by, I moved away
I heard that you got married and took on another name
You play the part in Sunday best
All the while your thoughts and longings unexpressed
I still wonder what the preacher's daughter said
