I can still recall the day my uncle Chester caught
religion The reverend took him swimmin' and the
devil must have drown Uncle Chester he was big
he was mean and even vicious 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 In the pockets of his coat were the tools of
his profession A tattered old black bible and a
loaded 44 And all across the mountain you could
hear the children singin' Bout the peace down in
the valley like there never was before The
reverend had a special way of healin' wicked
sinners He only had to shoot a few to save a whole
lot more

I don't know where he came from but I do know
where he gone he's gone to meet his maker and to
guard the masters thrown And to keep a home fire
burnin' for the ones lost in the night The kind of
fire he lit in me to help me see the light And all
across the mountain you could hear the children singing
bout the peace down in the valley like there never was before
the revered had a special way of healin wicked
sinners He only had to shoot a few to save a whole lot more

The lawman helped the reverend when he taught the old time
gospel it was heaven, it was prison, or the loaded 44

All across the mountain....
