| [00:54.35] |
Pink blossoms on the Mimosa trees |
| [00:58.03] |
Cicadas dancing soft and sweet |
| [01:01.41] |
Sweat on his neck in the summer heat |
| [01:04.70] |
Kissin' the preacher's daughter |
| [01:09.74] |
Headlights flashing in their eyes |
| [01:12.81] |
The shadow of a face they recognized |
| [01:16.14] |
A single shot split the night |
| [01:19.04] |
Footsteps in muddy water |
| [01:24.03] |
And the sun came up like the day before |
| [01:27.76] |
And her sheets hadn't been turned down |
| [01:30.14] |
And the boy turned up downstream on the rocks |
| [01:34.41] |
Two miles outside of town |
| [01:37.70] |
She was leavin' church in a white sundress |
| [01:41.14] |
Last time anybody saw her |
| [01:46.21] |
Oh what's become of the preacher's daughter |
| [01:56.60] |
One-eyed woman with her tarot cards |
| [01:59.32] |
Said she ain't comin' back but she ain't gone far |
| [02:02.72] |
The devil's a liar and he drives a car |
| [02:06.00] |
Somewhere in Catahoula County |
| [02:11.29] |
Then the sun came up like the day before |
| [02:14.02] |
And her sheets hadn't been turned down |
| [02:16.49] |
And the search dogs barked on the day they laid |
| [02:20.58] |
Her first love in the ground |
| [02:24.55] |
The preacher's knees buckled in the heat |
| [02:27.20] |
So the deacon took over |
| [02:32.21] |
And said "let us pray for the preacher's daughter" |
| [03:01.99] |
Blue lights flashin' on the riverbank |
| [03:05.07] |
They held their breath as they dragged the chains |
| [03:08.43] |
Hearts all sank when her beautiful face |
| [03:11.97] |
Came up out of the water |
| [03:17.04] |
Through her tangled hair they could see |
| [03:20.81] |
She was missing one earring |
| [03:24.05] |
Found the other in the back seat of the car |
| [03:27.32] |
Of the deacon that couldn't have her |
| [03:32.67] |
And the sun came up like the day before |
| [03:35.69] |
And her sheets hadn't been turned down |
| [03:38.86] |
When they slapped the cuffs on the deacon's wrists |
| [03:43.16] |
You could hear it all over town |
| [03:46.10] |
And the headlines read "Justice At Last |
| [03:49.85] |
Up From The Muddy Water |
| [03:54.79] |
The Resurrection of the Preacher's Daughter" |
