My Father Preaches

Parody of "I Fall To Pieces" by Patsy Cline

My father preaches Retired he's preaching again My father preaches How can he say just amen You phone him as backup when a preacher's sick You want him to fill-in, when your new preacher quits And he's tired and retired but you now expect You all cry then my father preaches My father preaches Each time someone fades away My father preaches Time to return from the lake You telephone, "My someone lost her love" So what's Dad's supposed to do, away in Timbuktu But each time he goes south a day or two Your pa dies then my father preaches You all die then my father preaches Written by Jay Crook Sang by Stacey Stark

Hi Jay, I'm overwhelmed. It's beautiful. It really made my day. Did you remember, this is the day I go to Fort Worth for a stress test. This song will give me something positive to think about and talk about. Thanks. I woke up at 5, got up at 5:30, took a pill, shaved & showered & turned on the computer and woke Mom up at 6:20 to listen to your song. She loves it too. She said, "It's amazing that Jay and Russell both can write poetry and neither one of us can." Thanks Son. Dad (8-29-06)
