And to keep a home fire burnin' for the ones lost in the night
He only had to shoot a few to save a whole lot more
The kind of fire he lit in me to help me see the light
And all across the mountain you could hear the children singin'
The Reverend had a special way for healin' wicked sinners
And all across the mountain you could hear the children singin'
It was heaven, it was prison or the loaded 44
In the pockets of his coat were the tools of his profession
'Bout the peace down in the valley like there never was before
The Reverend had a special way of healin' wicked sinners
He's gone to meet his maker and to guard the masters thrown
The reverend took him swimmin' and the devil must have drown
I can still recall the day my uncle Chester caught religion
He only had to shoot a few to save a whole lot more
Uncle Chester he was big, he was mean and even vicious
I don't know where he came from but I do know where he gone
The Reverend had a special way of healin' wicked sinners
He only had to shoot a few to save a whole lot more

And all across the mountain you could hear the children singin'
A tattered old black bible and a loaded 44
But he didn't stand a chance against the lawman Reverend Brown
The lawman Reverend Brown was the sheriff of Pitman County
His hair was long and black like the dusty suit he wore
The lawman helped the Reverend when he taught the old time gospel
