Hey Gang

I have a snippet of a song which goes "Billy Rae was a preacher's son and
when his daddy was ______ he come along"

I'm looking for the name and artist for the song and more importantly what
movie soundtrack it is from.

Any help would be much appreciated and thanks to all who replied to my
country music id challenge.

Cheers

BC Al

TIA

along
That's form a song called "Son of a Preacher Man"
Not sure who does it, but it's on the Pulp Fiction Soundtrack.

I love this song. It's called "Son of a Preacher Man" and was part of the Pulp Fiction
Soundtrack. Dusty Springfield sang the song. Here's the lyrics.
- Claire

"Son Of A Preacher Man"

Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son,
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along,
When they gathered round and started talking,
Cousin Billy would take me walking,
Through the back yard we'd go walking,
Then he'd look into my eyes,
Lord knows to my suprise:

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

Being good isn't always easy,
No matter how hard I tried,
When he started sweet talking to me,
he'd come tell me everything is alright,
he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright,
Can I get away again tonight?.

Chorus....

How well I remember,
The look that was in his eyes,
Stealing kisses from me on the sly,
Taking time to make time,
Telling me that he's all mine,
Learning from each others knowing,
Looking to see how much we'd grown.

Chorus....

and when his Daddy would visit he'd come along

It was on the "Pulp Fiction" soundtrack and is done by Dusty Springfield.
Joan Osborne does a cover of it on her "Early Recordings" cd.
