lyrics

Woo – woo
(repeat)

Daddy was a preacher-man
He loved the choir singers
He’d meet ‘em ‘hind the pulpit
They, played u’neath their robes and

Hidey-hidey-hi, Hidey-hidey-ho
(repeat)

My Momma used to meet her men
On 45th and Winston
She’d take ‘em in the alley
Wouldn’t see her till the morning and

Hidey-hidey-hi, Hidey-hidey-ho
(repeat)

That’s what happens when the brothel
Has a steeple and the people, don’t even know
That’s what happens when the bible
Turns evil and the people, stay for the show

Woo – woo
(repeat)

People refuse to see
The truth behind the lie
Preachers, love to throw Jesus
When folks they doing wrong

Hidey-hidey-hi, Hidey-hidey-ho
(repeat)

Jesus is my only friend
And he ain’t even listening
Too busy playing doctor
Wit all the freaky devils and

Hidey-hidey-hi, Hidey-hidey-ho
(repeat)

(chorus)

Led by Marvin Tate — a poet, artist, playwright and raconteur who wore pipe cleaners in his hair — and supported by a large, dynamic cast of characters, their music was both of and ahead of its time. ... more
