I was born in the thirsty eath
Showed up in Tuscon, fresh out of Leavenworth
Did my time on stale bread and dirty water
Nobody told me that the lady was preacher's daughter
Yeah how her arms would hold me
When we kissed, she never told me
Lamb for a slaughter
Yeah, she's my preacher's daughter

Cut loose from my incarceration
Paid a visit to her Daddy's congregation
Welcome home she said, your lookin' good too
Meet my new husband, he's the sheriff who arrested you

Yeah how her arms would holds me
When we kissed, she never told me
Lamb for a slaughter
'Cause She's my preacher's daughter

YEAH

So I said my congratulations
Before I lost myself to my infatuations
I stole a kiss or two just havin' fun again
Sheriff don't like it
Now I'm back on the run again

How her arms would hold me
When we kissed, she never told me
Lamb for a slaughter
Like the desert needs its water
Give me back my preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
YEAH
