Verse:
He's a Six-Gin Preacher in a territory town	
during the week he makes his rounds	
come Sunday morning you can see us all	
at the six-gun sermon in the meeting hall	

Deliver us from evil deliver us from pain	
we got dust when it blows and floods when it rains	
children out here ain't never seen a train
I wonder if this land is ever gonna change	

Chorus:
He's a Six-Gun Preacher making his rounds	
a Six-Gun Preacher in a territory town	
six-gun, six-gun, a Six-Gun Preacher	

Verse:
He come from Kentucky through Tennessee	
headed out west in '43
with god by his side he crossed the Mississip
a bible in his bedroll a pistol on his hip

Give us this day our daily bread
maybe some chicken would taste good instead
forgive us our sins forgive our mistakes
forgive our empty pockets when we pass the plate

Chorus…

Verse:
Statehood was coming he hung up his gun	
found a good woman and they started raising sons	
one was a farmer one an outlaw	
and one was a preacher just like his pa	

Chorus…
