The Little Lady Preacher - Tom T. Hall[00:00:00]

Oh, the little lady preacher[00:00:06]

From the limestone church[00:00:08]

I'll never forget her, I guess[00:00:11]

She preached each Sunday mornin'[00:00:16]

On the local radio[00:00:17]

With a big black Bible[00:00:20]

And a snow-white dress[00:00:22]

She was nineteen years of age[00:00:26]

And was developed to a fault[00:00:28]

But I will admit she knew the Bible well[00:00:30]

A little white lace hanky marked the text[00:00:35]

That she would use[00:00:38]

She'd breathe into that microphone[00:00:39]

And send us all to hell[00:00:41]

She had a guitar picker[00:00:45]

By the name of Luther Short[00:00:47]

A hairy-legged soul, lost out in sin[00:00:50]

She would turn and smile at Luther[00:00:54]

When the program would commence[00:00:56]

With a voice as sweet as angels[00:00:59]

She would break out in a hymn[00:01:01]

I was pickin' for her too with[00:01:04]

What we call the doghouse bass[00:01:07]

I clung to every word that passed her lips[00:01:09]

She was down on booze and cigarettes[00:01:12]

And high on days to come[00:01:16]

And she'd punctuate the prophecy[00:01:18]

With movements of her hips[00:01:21]

The Lord, knows how I loved her,[00:01:30]

He was there each time she preached[00:01:32]

But ol' Luther took her home each Sunday morn'[00:01:34]

Lookin' back I still recall the way[00:01:39]

It hurt my tender pride[00:01:41]

I longed to be a hero[00:01:43]

But they're made not born[00:01:45]

Sometimes ol' Luther showed up[00:01:49]

At the studio half-tight[00:01:51]

And smokin' was a thing he liked to do[00:01:54]

She never said a word to him[00:01:58]

But said a prayer for me[00:02:01]

I told her in a way that[00:02:03]

I'd been prayin' for her too[00:02:05]

One Sunday her old man showed up[00:02:09]

And said that she was gone[00:02:11]

Said she and brother Luther had a call[00:02:13]

I can see me standin' in[00:02:16]

That studio that day[00:02:20]

I had to face the heartbreak,[00:02:22]

Unemployment and all[00:02:25]

I don't know where they are,[00:02:28]

'Cause I ain't seen them people since[00:02:30]

Lord, if I judge 'em let me[00:02:33]

Give 'em lots o' room[00:02:34]

I know ol' Luther Short[00:02:37]

And he's a hard ol' boy to change[00:02:39]

And I've often sat and wondered[00:02:43]

Who it was converted whom[00:02:45]
