Lyrics The Little Lady Preacher - Tom T. Hall
Oh,
the
little
lady
preacher
from
the
limestone
church
I'll
never
forget
her,
I
guess
She
preached
each
sunday
mornin'
on
the
local
radio
With
a
big
black
Bible
and
a
snow-white
dress
She
was
19
years
of
age
and
was
developed
to
a
fault
But
I
will
admit
she
knew
the
Bible
well
A
little
white
lace
hanky
marked
the
text
that
she
would
use
She'd
breathe
into
that
microphone
and
send
us
all
to
hell
She
had
a
guitar
picker
by
the
name
of
luther
short
A
hairy-legged
soul
lost
out
in
sin
She
would
turn
and
smile
at
luther
when
the
program
would
commence
With
a
voice
as
sweet
as
angels
she
would
break
out
in
a
hymn
I
was
pickin'
for
her
too
with
what
we
call
the
doghouse
bass
I
clung
to
every
word
that
passed
her
lips
She
was
down
on
booze
and
cigarettes
and
high
on
days
to
come
And
she'd
punctuate
the
prophecy
with
movements
of
her
hips
The
lord
knows
how
I
loved
her,
he
was
there
each
time
she
preached
But
ol'
luther
took
her
home
each
sunday
morn'
Lookin'
back
I
still
recall
the
way
it
hurt
my
tender
pride
I
longed
to
be
a
hero
but
they're
made
not
born
Sometimes
ol'
luther
showed
up
at
the
studio
half-tight
And
smokin'
was
a
thing
he
liked
to
do
She
never
said
a
word
to
him
but
said
a
prayer
for
me
I
told
her
in
a
way
that
I'd
been
prayin'
for
her
too
One
sunday
her
old
man
showed
up
and
said
that
she
was
gone
Said
she
and
brother
luther
had
a
call
I
can
see
me
standin'
in
that
studio
that
day
I
had
to
face
the
heartbreak,
unemployment
and
all
I
don't
know
where
they
are
'cause
I
ain't
seen
them
people
since
Lord
if
I
judge
'em
let
me
give
'em
lots
o'
room
I
know
ol'
luther
short
and
he's
a
hard
ol'
boy
to
change
And
I've
often
sat
and
wondered
who
it
was
converted
whom
