The on ly boy who could ev er teach me was the son of a preach er man, yes he was he (B)was,

Be ing good is n’t al ways ea sy no mat ter how hard I try.
When he start ed sweet talk ing to me, he’d come and tell me ev ’ry thing is al right, he’d kiss and tell me ev ’ry thing is al right.
Can’t get a way a gain to night.
The (E)on ly one who could ev er reach me was the son of a preach er man.

The (A)on ly one who could ev er move me was the son of a (A)preach er man.
The on ly one who could ev er move me was the son of a (A)preach er man.
