THE REVEREND MISTER BLACK:The Kingston Trio. #8 in 1963. #1.(SPOKEN) He carried a bible, in a canvas sack, CHORUS:(SUNG) #2.(SPOKEN)(Same chords as #1) If ever I could have thought this man in black, was soft..had any yellow up his back.. I gave that notion up the day a lumberjack came in and wasn't to pray. Yeah, he kicked open the meetin' house door, and he cussed everybody up and down the floor. And then when things got quiet in the place, He walked up and cussed in the preacher's face. He hit that reverend like the kick of a mule, And to my way of thinkin it took a pure fool to turn the other cheek to that lumberjack, but that's what he did, the Reverend Mr. Black. He stood like a rock, a man among men, then he let that lumberjack hit him again. And then with a voice as kind as could be, he cut him down like a big Oak tree when he said.. CHORUS:(SUNG) #3.(SPOKEN:)(Chords same as #2.) It's been many years since we had to part, and I guess I learned his ways by heart. I can still hear his sermons ring.. down in the valley where he used to sing. I followed him, yes sir, and I don't regret it. Hope that I'll always be a credit, to his memory, cause I want you to understand, The Reverend Mr. Black was my old man. CHORUS:(x2) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
