The Preacher

(album: The Womack Live - 1970)


Gimme my groove
Lemme hear everybody in the house tonight
If ya still feel like you want to have a good time
All ya gotta say is yeah
[Crowd sings:] Yeah
[Bobby:] Yeah
[Crowd:] Yeah
Yeah
[Bobby:] Lemme hear ya just say it a little bit louder
lemme hear ya say yeah
[Crowd:] Yeah
[Bobby sings:] Hmmmmm
I don't know why I, I feel like I wanna preach tonight
I wonder would yall mind If I preach to you for about 5 minutes
But I got to know that I got some warriors in the house tonight
All ya gotta say is yeah
[Crowd sings:] yeah
[Bobby sings:] Owwwww!!!
About five years ago I fell in love
But you know I never believed I never believed in working a real hard job
But one day my old lady walked up and told me and said Bobby
She said your loving is good
But my money is getting sort of thin
Lemme hear ya say yeah

She said, "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, boy,"
"But you better get ooonnnn out and find yourself a job!"
My nose was sort of opened wide at that time
So early that next morning
I went ooonnnn out looking
Tryin to find a job
And I'm mighty glad to today to tell you that I found it
I put in 24 hours a day
And then a little bit overtime
And here's the sad part of the story

You know something about that, don't you?
Listen to me, now
What brought me home
It brought me home sort of early one night, huh
I got a funny I got a funny feeling
That something wasn't going on in my house that wasn't right
Until I recognized my old lady's voice
And she kept telling she said Oooh, baby!
And I was steady listening she said Oooh, baby!
And he sort of stuttering too He kept sayin, like, Uh, what, honey?
She kept telling him look, keep on doing doing doing
what you're doing boy!

[Bobby:] And lemme hear ya yeah
Make me know you're still with me [Crowd sings:] Yeah
Lemme hear ya yeah [Crowd sings:] Yeah
So I started to call my baby
I said, "Baby!"
I said "I'm glad to walk away if ya do me one thing...
would ya do me one thing...?"

done
