[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"
