Mark Allan Wolfe - Why Baby Why Lyrics

Preacher went down to the delta searching for some faith
Found his wife at the water fooling around with the snake
Started preaching baby repent now and be saved
Lady left with the serpent now preacher got no faith

Preacher went to the church house traded his cross for a gun
Shot them both in cold blood now he's a lamb on the run

Why baby why why why why baby
Why why baby why why why baby
Why why baby why why why baby
Why why why why baby yeah

Law man caught him trying to cross the state line
Judge at the court house says he's got to walk the line
Spends his days on the chain gang begging for mercy divine
Praying for a second chance but this time he's gonna get it right

Preacher went to the church house traded his cross for a gun
Shot them both in cold blood now he's a lamb on the run

Why baby why why why why baby
Why why baby why why why baby
Why why baby why why why baby

But He's still in shackles bible still in his hand
You might take the good book from his cold dead hands
You might take the last breath of this preacher man
But you'll never take his faith as he's going to the holy Promised Land

Preacher went to the church house traded his cross for a gun
Shot them both in cold blood now he's a lamb on the run
Go get him boys

Why baby why why why why baby
Why why baby why why why baby
