Moral Man

He was a holy-rolling preacher,
A bible-singing,
God-inspired teacher,
Damnation from the pulpit
Was his guiding feature,
Gads, he was the most
God-observing creature,
His sermons dealt with heaven,
Hell, sin and morality,
To all the good believers
He promised heaven, immortality,
The sinners he condemned
To all hell fires and damnation,
But held out for them the only
Hope and possible salvation
To save their rotten souls
By rendering a big donation,
But one night the holy man
Took all the money of the church,
Went on to old Tahiti and
Left the congregation in a lurch.
It's said that way down under
He turned into sin's fatality,
Having a ball, boozing,
Living a life of great carnality...
