Roberta Flack — Reverend Lee

[Intro] This is a song about a very big, strong, Black Sexy southern Baptist minister Who thinks that he has his program all together Until he runs up against a lady Who shows him that he ain't got it together His name is Reverend Doctor Lee [Verse] Reverend Lee, he went to the water And he prayed to the Lord 'bout ol' Satan's daughter, yeah It seems in a dream, child While he lay sleeping She climbed in his bed Starts rubbing and weeping Oh, she was twisting and turning She was beggin' and pleadin' Lovin', burnin' Pantin' and breathin', ha, ha "Reverend Lee," she said Said "Lord knows I love you, child I will not even place God above you." Reverend Lee, he lifted his arms high Said "Heavenly Father, take me home to the sky." He said "Lord, please don't test me Not down where she touched me Oh, my mind is so hazy, Lord, my body is hungry Oh yeah" God rolled a thunder then a bolt of lighting He seemed to be angry Oh, sure was frightening The thunder grew louder, louder Darkened conditions Just then a voice said "God can not petitioned" Just then the devil emerged from the water And he said in a dry voice "Your God will not barter." Reverend Lee ran screaming from the water He was hotly pursued by old Satan's daughter "Reverend Lee," she said, "Reverend Lee, Reverend Lee Reverend Lee, oh, do it to me Reverend Lee, do it to me Reverend Lee, oh, do it to me Reverend Lee, do it to me Reverend Lee, Reverend Lee..."
