Son Of A Preacher Man(Live From Madison Square Garden, New York/1969) - Ike & Tina Turner

Billy Ray was a preacher's son

When his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gathered around started talkin'

That's when Billy would take me walkin'

Through the back yard we'd go walkin'

When 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

The only one who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was he was ooh yes he was

Bein' good isn't always easy

No matter how hard I try

'Cause when he started talk sweet talkin' to me

He'd come'n tell me everything is all right

Kiss and tell me everything is all right

Can I get away again tonight

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only one who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was he was ooh he was

Yes he was

How well I remember

The look was in his eyes

Stealin' kisses from me on the sly

Takin' time to make time

Tellin' me he's all mine

Learnin' from each other's knowin'

Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only one who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was he was oh yes he was

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

He was the only one

Yeah

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was

Let me tell you

Was the son of a preacher man

You should know now

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was

Oh yeah

He was the son of a preacher man

He was the only one
