Preacher Man Blues (Inspired By Langston Hughes)

Preacher man said..."Put another dolla' in the plate!" Preacher man said..."Put another dolla' in the plate!" I got my blessin' on lay-away; Don't know how long I gotta wait! Preacher man asked..."How long did you suffer?" Preacher man asked..."How long did you suffer?" I said, "It ain't over yet, 'Cuz these problems are gettin' tougher!" Preacher man asked..."Where did your faith go?" Preacher man asked..."Where did your faith go?" I been leakin' for years; I ain't got nothin' left to show! Preacher man said..."You ain't supposed to be tired!" Preacher man said..."You ain't supposed to be tired!" I ain't got no mo' dollars' to give, Because I just got fired! Preacher man said..."Lay your burden down!" Preacher man said..."Lay your burden down!" I put them six feet under, But they came right back out of the ground! Preacher man passed the plate...One mo' time. Preacher man passed the plate...One mo' time. I just gave him a dollar; Now, he wants my last dime!
