Am Pink blossoms on the Mimosa treesC Cadas dance, singing soft and sweetG Sweat on his neck in the summer heatAm Kissin' the preacher's daughterAm Headlights flashing in their eyesC The shadow of a face they recognizedG A single shot split the nightAm Footsteps in muddy waterG F And the sun came up like the day beforeAm And her sheets hadn't been turned downG F And the boy turned up downstream on the rocksAm Two miles outside of townG F She was leavin' church in a white sundressAm D Last time anybody saw herContinues after the adC D Oh, what's become of theAm preacher's daughterAm One-eyed woman with her tarot cardsC Said she ain't comin' back but she ain't gone farG The devil's a liar and he drives a carAm Somewhere in Catahoula CountyG F Then the sun came up like the day beforeAm And her sheets hadn't been turned downG And the search dogs barked on theF day they laidAm Her first love in the groundG F The preacher's knees buckled in the heatAm D So the deacon took overC D And said "let us pray for theAm preacher's daughter"Am Blue lights flashin' on the riverbankC They held their breath as they dragged the chainsG Hearts all sank when her beautiful faceAm Came up out of the waterAm Through her tangled hair they could seeC She was missing one earringG Found the other in the back seat of the carAm Of the deacon that couldn't have herG F And the sun came up like the day beforeAm And her sheets hadn't been turned downG When they slapped the cuffs on theF deacon's wristsAm You could hear it all over townG F And the headlines read "Justice At LastAm D Up From The Muddy Water...C D The Resurrection of the Preacher'sAm Daughter"
