[00:01.10]Maggie Rose - Preacher's Daughter
[00:54.58]Pink blossoms on the Mimosa trees
[00:57.63]Cicadas dancing soft and sweet
[01:01.57]Sweat on his neck in the summer heat
[01:04.83]Kissin' the preacher's daughter
[01:06.41]
[01:09.71]Headlights flashing in their eyes
[01:12.83]The shadow of a face they recognized
[01:16.30]A single shot split the night
[01:19.55]Footsteps in muddy water
[01:24.48]And the sun came up like the day before
[01:27.80]And her sheets hadn't been turned down
[01:30.90]And the boy turned up downstream on the rocks
[01:34.35]Two miles outside of town
[01:37.66]She was leavin' church in a white sundress
[01:41.22]Last time anybody saw her
[01:45.79]Oh, what's become of the preacher's daughter
[01:53.85]
[01:58.58]One-eyed woman with her tarot cards
[02:00.41]Said she ain't comin' back but she ain't gone far
[02:02.84]The devil's a liar and he drives a car
[02:06.03]Somewhere in Catahoula County
[02:07.84]Then the sun came up like the day before
[02:12.03]And her sheets hadn't been turned down
[02:17.78]And the search dogs barked on the day they laid
[02:20.66]Her first love in the ground
[02:24.67]The preacher's knees buckled in the heat
[02:29.20]So the deacon took over
[02:32.83]And said "let us pray for the preacher's daughter"
[02:36.23]
[03:02.02]Blue lights flashin' on the riverbank
[03:05.02]They held their breath as they dragged the chains
[03:08.67]Hearts all sank when her beautiful face
[03:12.21]Came up out of the water
[03:17.23]Through her tangled hair they could see
[03:20.54]She was missing one earring
[03:24.10]Found the other in the back seat of the car
[03:27.98]Of the deacon that couldn't have her
[03:33.17]And the sun came up like the day before
[03:36.23]And her sheets hadn't been turned down
[03:39.47]When they slapped the cuffs on the deacon's wrists
[03:42.98]You could hear it all over town
[03:45.54]And the headlines read "Justice At Last
[03:49.63]Up From The Muddy Water...
[03:54.79]The Resurrection of the Preacher's Daughter"
