Preacher Man Blues Lyrics

Gary Moore Preacher Man Blues

I was walking down the street one day
Saw a preacher man coming my way
Took me aside and he said to me
"Better wash away your sins down in Galilee"

And I said "oh wee, Lord have mercy on me
Oh wee, Lord have mercy
Oh wee, Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on this wicked man"

A preacher man said to me
"Don't try to blame no one else
'Cause after all is said and done
The only one to blame is yourself'"

And he said " oh wee, Lord have mercy on you
Oh wee, Lord have mercy
Oh wee, Lord have mercy on you
Lord have mercy on this wicked man"

Preacher man took my hand
Said "let me lead you to the promised land
Take my advice and listen to me
You better wash away your sins down in Galilee"

And he said " oh wee, Lord have mercy on you (2x)
Oh wee, Lord have mercy
Oh wee, Lord have mercy on you
Lord have mercy on your wicked soul"

Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy

On your wicked soul
On your wicked soul
On your wicked soul

Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on your wicked soul
On your wicked soul
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on your wicked soul.
