Jesse Fuller in 'Raise a Ruckus'....

Some folk say that a preacher won' steal, raise a ruckus tonight,
I caught two in my cornfield, raise a ruckus tonight,
One had a bushel and the other had a peck, raise a ruckus tonight,
One had a roast ear roun' his neck, rais a ruckus tonight.

Leadbelly in 'Tight Like That'....

If you want to see a preacher laugh,
Change a dollar an' give him a half'
It tight like that....

Woody in 'So Long'....

The preacher could not read a word of his text,
So he folded his specs, took up the collection, said
So long, it's been good to know you.....

Them preachers sure got a bad press in folk song!
