Time of the Preacher

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

It was a time of the preacher 
When the story began
Of the choice of a lady 
And the love of a man
How he loved her so dearly 
He went out of his mind
When she left him for someone 
That she'd left behind
And he cried like a baby 
And he screamed like a panther 
In the middle of the night
And he saddled his pony 
And he went for a ride
It was a time of the preacher 
In the year of O-one
Now the preachin' is over 
And the lesson's begun
