Preacher man he told us
He's gonna save our souls
Had a trunk load full of Bibles
In his car down by the road
You could taste the bad whisky smell that cheap perfume
As the sun beat us down in the hot afternoon
Hm hm hm, the Devils home
Through the screen door of our front porch, he slowly walked right in
The air felt uneasy as he smiled a yellowed grin
Mama sensed foul play and said with a nervous smile
Don't keep your friends waitin' I'll come get you in a while
Hm hm hm, the Devils come home
Seen the preacher man before but I knew something was wrong
Ran to the mill, where Daddy worked all day long
Told him about the Preacher and how he walked right in
Daddy said "Boy stay here, till I come for you again"
He was a wolf in sheep's clothing out preying on his flock
Devil got inside him but Daddy made him stop
If you find yourself by the muddy river don't be surprised
If the waters churned you might find a King James passing by
Hm hm hm, the Devils home
Hm hm hm, the Devils home
Hm hm hm, the Devils gone home
