I don't know what kind of fool
to lighten his load would kill his mule
and heaven be locked, and hell I'm bound
gonna put that preacher in the ground

I'm gonna kill that preacher man
I'm gonna put him down in his grave
I'm gonna kill the preacher man
I kick him with my boot, make sure he's dead

I don't know what kind of fool
to lighten his load would kill his mule

And if it's the last thing I do
if it's the last step I take
may be the wrong make a move
but it'll be the last thing I make

I'm gonna kill that preacher man
kick him with my boot, make sure he's dead
