Preacher’s Daughter Bruce Springsteen

[opens very soft and slow, to the tune of Mona/She's the One]

I got a date with the preacher's daughter
She give me life she bring me water
Every Sunday I watch her work
Pretty little (siff?) in a pretty little church
Daddy gives her nod she takes collection
Daddy gives her nod she kneels by her side
Well I'd sell my soul for just one touch
The Lord would too if he loved her half as much

Well I got a date with the preacher's daughter
Her Daddy say that the boy's no good
Just want to raise some (coons?) out through the back woods
Well baby better believe what your Daddy say
Just wanna ramrod baby my life away
It's a long walk to heaven and a road filled with sin
And they better open up the freeway to let me in

'Cuz I got a date with the preacher's daughter
Well now I don't care what the preacher say
Haaaaayyyy
[IDENTICAL to "Haaaaayyyy, Mona"]
Well now I don't care what the preacher do
Haaaaayyyy
I don't care what the preacher like
Haaaaayyyy
I don't care what the preacher think
Haaaaayyyy
Leads me to water but won't let me drink
He leads me to water but won't let me drink
(Big Man)
