Well I heard a preacher preach one Sunday morn
He, he was a preachin' man
Tellin' everybody 'bout the judgment morn
Oh, what a preachin' man
Told about Jonah in the belly of the whale
He, he was a preachin' man
Told about Paul and Silas in jail
Oh, what a preachin' man
You'd better believe it now
You'd better believe it now
Or every one of you will go to
He, he was a preachin' man
Oh, what a preachin' man
Well he walked the floor and he shook his head
Well you're gonna go to hell, that's what he said
I felt the fire and I smelled the smoke
I got a little hotter every word he spoke
Well he preached so hard that people cried
And tellin' that the Lord had died
Hangin' yonder on Calvary's tree
Folks were bending on their knees
