Maggie Rose - Preacher's Daughter Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Pink blossoms on the Mimosa trees
  • Cicadas dancing soft and sweet
  • Sweat on his neck in the summer heat
  • Kissin' the preacher's daughter
  • Headlights flashing in their eyes
  • The shadow of a face they recognized
  • A single shot split the night
  • Footsteps in muddy water
  • And the sun came up like the day before
  • And her sheets hadn't been turned down
  • And the boy turned up downstream on the rocks
  • Two miles outside of town
  • She was leavin' church in a white sundress
  • Last time anybody saw her
  • Oh, what's become of the preacher's daughter
  • One-eyed woman with her tarot cards
  • Said she ain't comin' back but she ain't gone far
  • The devil's a liar and he drives a car
  • Somewhere in Catahoula County
  • Then the sun came up like the day before
  • And her sheets hadn't been turned down
  • And the search dogs barked on the day they laid
  • Her first love in the ground
  • The preacher's knees buckled in the heat
  • So the deacon took over
  • And said "let us pray for the preacher's daughter"
  • Blue lights flashin' on the riverbank
  • They held their breath as they dragged the chains
  • Hearts all sank when her beautiful face
  • Came up out of the water
  • Through her tangled hair they could see
  • She was missing one earring
  • Found the other in the back seat of the car
  • Of the deacon that couldn't have her
  • And the sun came up like the day before
  • And her sheets hadn't been turned down
  • When they slapped the cuffs on the deacon's wrists
  • You could hear it all over town
  • And the headlines read "Justice At Last
  • Up From The Muddy Water...
  • The Resurrection of the Preacher's Daughter"
