Verse:
It was the time of Athe preacher 
When the story Ebegan 
Of the choice of a B7lady 
And the love of a Eman E7
And how he loved her so Adearly 
He went out of his Emind 
When she left him for B7someone 
She'd left Ebehind E7

Chorus:
He cried like a Ababy 
He Dscreamed like a Apanther 
In the middle of the Enight 
And he saddled his B7pony 
And he went for a Eride E7
It was the time of the Apreacher 
In the year of oh Eone
Now the preaching is B7over 
And the lesson's beEgun 

(Optional Johnny Cash verses)

Verse:
But he could not forAgive her 
Though he tried and he tried and he Etried 
And the halls of his B7memory 
Still echo her Elies 

Chorus:
He cried like a Ababy 
He Dscreamed like a Apanther 
In the middle of the Enight 
And he saddled his B7pony 
And he went for a Eride 
It was the time of the Apreacher 
In the year of oh Eone
Now the lesson is B7over 
And the killing's Ebegun 

It was the time of the Apreacher 
In the year of oh Eone
When you think it's all B7over 
It's only beEgun
