Songtexte The Lawman Reverend - Chris LeDoux
I
can
still
recall
the
day
my
Uncle
Chester
caught
religion
The
reverend
took
him
swimming,
and
the
devil
must′ve
drown
Uncle
Chester,
he
was
big,
he
was
mean,
and
even
vicious
But
he
didn't
stand
a
chance
against
the
lawman
Reverend
Brown
The
lawman
Reverend
Brown
was
the
sheriff
of
Pitman
County
His
hair
was
long
and
black
like
the
dusty
suit
he
wore
In
the
pockets
of
his
coat,
were
the
tools
of
his
professions
A
tattered
old
black
bible
and
a
loaded
.44
And
all
across
the
mountain,
you
could
hear
the
children
singing
′Bout
the
peace
down
in
the
valley
like
there
never
was
before
The
reverend
had
a
special
way
for
healing
wicked
sinners
He
only
had
to
shoot
a
few
to
save
a
whole
lot
more
I
don't
know
where
he
came
from,
but
I
do
know
where
he's
gone
He′s
gone
to
meet
his
maker
and
to
guard
the
master′s
throne
And
to
keep
a
home
fire
burning
for
the
ones
lost
in
the
night
The
kind
of
fire
he
lit
in
me
to
help
me
see
the
light
And
all
across
the
mountain,
you
could
hear
the
children
singing
'Bout
the
peace
down
in
the
valley
like
there
never
was
before
The
reverend
had
a
special
way
for
healing
wicked
sinners
He
only
had
to
shoot
a
few
to
save
a
whole
lot
more
The
lawman
helped
the
reverend
when
he
taught
the
old
time
gospel
It
was
Heaven,
it
was
prison,
oh,
the
loaded
.44
All
across
the
mountain,
you
could
hear
the
children
singing
′Bout
the
peace
down
in
the
valley
like
there
never
was
before
The
reverend
had
a
special
way
for
healing
wicked
sinners
He
only
had
to
shoot
a
few
to
save
a
whole
lot
more
