Kill the Preacher (/Mansfield Jam)

Lyrics

​

*[Dave uses a ton of variation with each version]

I'm gonna kill that preacher man 
I'm gonna put him down in his grave 
heaven be locked, and hell I'm bound 
I'm gonna put him in the ground 

I don't know what kind of fool 
to lessen his load would kill his mule 
I'm gonna kill that preacher man 
kick him with my boot, make sure he's dead 

If it's the last thing I do 
if it's the last move I make 
may be the wrong way to choose 
it'll be the last step I take 

I'm gonna kill that preacher man 
I'm gonna put him down in his grave
