[00:27.25]Old master had a leper for a child
[00:29.56]Left him out to fend for his self in the wild
[00:32.32]They laughed at him anytime he went to town
[00:34.69]So he kept to his self and he seldom came around
[00:37.75]Loved life and he loved his kin
[00:40.00]But he couldn't understand why they ain't love him
[00:42.49]
[00:43.05]Slept out in the shed all alone
[00:45.41]And all he ever wanted was some friends of his own
[00:48.40]A few hands saved him  took him in and raised him
[00:51.02]Taught him about love and struggle and patience
[00:53.71]Gave him the family comfort he was cravin
[00:56.33]He worked when they work and he sang when they sang
[00:59.63]He sang so clear and so loud
[01:01.69]That the masters of the children could hear him from the house
[01:04.50]They recognize his voice and ran out
[01:06.99]Everybody wanna know what the ruckus all about y'all
[01:10.22]Preach on Mr  Preacher Man  they say
[01:12.84]Everybody wanna hear what you have to say

[01:40.16]
[01:42.34]See good Lord  I've been waitin so long
[01:44.97]For y'all to come out here and take me in the home
[01:47.46]The world's so cold with no place to belong
[01:49.78]They said "come on in boy  sing your song"
[01:52.33]He stepped inside and to his surprise
[01:55.39]It was so damn fly  he can't believe his eyes
[01:58.20]Ate and he drank and he felt satisfied
[02:00.58]'Til he sat by the window and he glanced out-side
[02:04.02]
[02:04.70]Loved ones out working
[02:06.60]Eyes got full and his heart start hurting
[02:09.47]'Cause them folk been singing for years
[02:11.66]But ain't any one of them set foot up in here
[02:14.59]Hold up  how you get so much
[02:17.15]Livin off folk like us that got it so rough
[02:20.14]The way you hold 'em in your cold clutch
[02:22.83]Makes me think that you don't love your own soul enough
[02:25.70]Preach on Mr  Preacher Man  they say
[02:28.38]Everybody wanna hear what you have to say

[02:51.28]Hey  hey  hey  ah  Lord I just gotta find a way
[02:55.71]
[02:57.77]Closed his eyes as he sang every note
[03:00.27]The songs he was taught and the ones that he wrote
[03:03.14]Stood up  cleared his throat  grabbed his coat
[03:05.70]In those last moments  a few words were spoke
[03:08.50]"I used to peak at this old house in awe
[03:11.43]Imagining what it must be like and all
[03:13.81]And this the finest spread these eyes ever saw
[03:16.48]But I don't mind saying I feel sorry for y'all
[03:19.44]All that getting  so little giving
[03:21.93]Led a lot of y'all to forget what's missing
[03:24.55]Built you a big pretty prison to sit in
[03:27.42]Strut around here  convinced that that's living
[03:29.73]
[03:30.60]But we gonna keep on singing
[03:32.85]Keep on soldering keep on building
[03:35.41]Keep on teaching and keep on listening
[03:38.09]And keep keeping on 'til the whole thing's different"
[03:41.29]In the shed the sun start to set
[03:43.60]Said all his prayers and laid down his head
[03:46.14]Everything said that he needed to say
[03:48.71]And one of these mornings we'll wake up to a brand new
[03:52.02]Preach on Mr Preacher Man they say
[03:54.66]Everybody wanna hear what you have to say
[03:57.34]Stand tall speak loud  boy that's the way
