Dusty Springfield - Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics
Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A-through the backyard we'd go walkin'
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he was
Being good isn't always easy
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
(Ooh...) Lord knows he was
Yes he was
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we've grown
And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he was
The only one who could ever reach me
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
I kissed the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever move me
The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever groove me
Ahh, ooh, ahh....

Astrid has such a great mommy. Jan Levinson baby.
very nice wow
January 2020?
Thanks mom and dad for showing me what good music is. ✌
Dusty Springfield, a prematurely deceased English singer, was one of the most beautiful and expressive female voices of the twentieth century, at the level of American Rosemary Clooney and Brazilian Heleninha Costa. In common, eclectic repertoires, great vocal range and professional discipline. Unfortunately, the world and Brazil seem to have forgotten these icons of the greatest art.

One of two standout tracks from the greatest album ever.

INTRO WTF HITS FROM THE BONG
I love the movie Pulp Fiction, and I love this song and scene in the movie!
Who else is here because of the Office?
This song takes right back to my childhood. I love it!!!!
*P U L P F I C T I O N BABY*
I love you maryjaaaaane
December 2019 ?
Heard this song in the Pulp Fiction movie and loved it. This lady has a lot of soul in her. Fabulous!!!
Love this song
At first i thought it was a black singer who sang this.
I'd have loved to hear Aretha sing this....
She gives me wood still
Ill take a hit from the bong to this.
I'll do one
Just as a tribute to Cypress Hill.
You "thumbs downers" are idiots!
Try listening to Alicia Bridges _I Love the Night Life._ Audio only at first, *_then_* watch the video & see what she looks like... I've got no problem with it. It's what's in a person's heart that really matters, not skin color
For an 8 year old kid back in 1979, Alicia was a complete shock to me: a crash course in the fluidity of culture & how it respects no racial boundaries. As a kid I listened to Chuck Berry for years before seeing him on TV for the first time. He was the opposite cultural example of Alicia 😲
Brilliant version
This is song came from the movie call Til Death Do Us Part
**********
🤷🏻♀️🆚❤️
😅👌
She has evil eyes..
You're a moron.
Hit from the bonggggggggg......
Best of the best ! Pure Talent ! First. Forever Legend 2019
The bass riff... epic!
I know right. It's like it's singing along with Dusty.
One of the more cringeworthy moments from the office, when Jann starts singing this song
She felt possessed by dusty Springfield. Lol
1% of comments - I love dusty Springfield!!
95% of comments - Vincent Vinceeeenttttttt
4% of comments - pulp fiction rules!!! (Which it does)
Publicité : Ferrero 2014

This song should’ve been on Once Upon A Time in Hollywood as well!!
Pulp fiction soundtrack was and is amazing
Hits from the booong

It is not easy for preachers in the Uk today.
Hits from a Bong

The best tv show and the best movie
Both have this song
For me the first hearing of this was Mafia 3 video game.
Lulz Alfest same
Hits from the bong
Millennials hate this song.
Ok, boomer. I'm a millennial and I worship this song.
Mafia 3 ????
WTF contrast pop music with assembly line production, processed shite today?
Anyone here from The Office?
Where is the intercom?
Being able to use this song...so thankful to be a Preacher's Son
No both !!
Hits from the booong
such a tight brass section.... marvellous!

Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surpriseThe only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was, ooh, yes, he wasBein' good isn't always easy

Son of a Gardner, por quito
Came here from Cypress Hill
Remember getting so high to this song and not being able to stop laughing 😭 good times 😂
Please tell me more
I'm not the only one then. Nice
Lol the very first part always makes me want to just shout out.... Hits from the bong!!! Lol i love both classics so very much
Hits from the bong.... Ops wrong song :D
Exactly why I came here, listened to "Hits from the Bong," then came here just to confirm that beat.
Even if reaching Dusty is a outstanding killing objective, the price of being the son of a preacher man could be higher than what a gentleman could consider fair and convenient.
Chills for pure.
Really great song....beautiful voice....thanks and love.
😍😘😍
This song is so good my neighbors called the cops for the loudness, and the cops arrested them. 😁
the only one who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man
don't matter why, the important thing is that we are here
I love Dusty! She was absolutely fantastic, one of the best voices of her time and now!!
HITS FROM THE BONG
I thought this song was super stupid until I saw a girl dancing like an angel to it. I could never forget that angel like girl dancing around in a 9th grade honors English class with her eyes closed, hair swaying, and sweet, delicate hips swaying to this day ...I guess it's okay. Haha!
I hate the goddamned corporate bastards who thrust their corporate dildo advertisements, completely against our wills, into the spaces between the music. God will damn them forever.
the only burger that could ever reach me was a quarter pounder. you know they don't call it that in france.
They call it a Royale with cheeeese..
What do they call a whopper?
@Mehmet410 cp big macs a big mac, but they call it "Le big mac".
Hollie Templeton Le Big Mac! Hahaha!
@Mehmet410 cp 'Don't know. But you could buy a beer at a Mcdonalds,' vincent
@Chobin Actlas and im not talking about no shitty paper cup, Im talking about a glass of fucking beer
