Daddy Was A Preacher by Harry Phillips Lyrics

(Intro)
Daddy shot mommy
Mommy fell down
Daddy was a preacher
Wore his guns like a crown
Daddy shot mommy
Mommy lay down for good
For good
(Intro)

(Verse)
Daddy was a preacher
Mommy didn’t need them
Daddy locked it up
Said I'll never need it for good
Daddy kept on preaching
Mommy didn’t meet him
Said that she was leaving
So daddy put a lock on the door

(Chorus)
Daddy shot mommy
Mommy fell down
Daddy was a preacher
Wore his guns like a crown
Daddy shot mommy
Mommy lay down for good
For good
(Verse)
Daddy used to beat her
Now he can't even see her
Not sure if it's cause she's dead
Or cause' he's locked up for good
Daddy was a preacher
Preached to the army bleachers
Told them to point up their guns
And just fire at will

(Chorus)
Daddy shot mommy
Mommy fell down
Daddy was a preacher
Wore his guns like a crown
Daddy shot mommy
Mommy lay down for good
For good

(Bridge)
Daddy was a preacher
Now he can’t even see her
Not sure if it’s cause she’s dead
Or Cause’ he’s locked up for good

(Chorus)
Daddy shot mommy
Mommy fell down
Daddy was a preacher
Wore his guns like a crown
Daddy shot mommy
Mommy lay down for good
For good
