Baby who been here : since your daddy been gone
Says he must have been a preacher daddy : had a long coat
on

Baby who been here : since you daddy been gone
I don't know who the man was daddy : had a derby on

Baby who been here : since you daddy been gone
Says he must have been a jellybean : had long shoes on

Baby preacher's on the pulpit : just trying to save souls
And his daughter's out on the highway corner : selling
sweet jellyroll

And the preacher's in the pulpit : jumping up and down
And the sisters back in the amen corner : their southern
bound
