Biography:
Big Smith is a band from Springfield, Missouri composed of five cousins: Mark and Jody Bilyeu, Bill and Rik Thomas, and Jay Williamson. The newest member, fiddle player Molly Healey, brings the total to six creative individuals bound together by blood and harmony.
After coming together professionally in the fall of 1996, they quickly earned a devoted following playing raucous acoustic music that captured the spirit of their native Ozarks, equipped only with an acoustic guitar, mandolin, bass fiddle and washboard.

[Chorus]
A
I let a preacher
D
I let a preacher
A E
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
A
I let a preacher
D
I let a preacher
A E A
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
A
Put away my weapon
D
Put away my whiskey
A E
Put away everything unworthy in His sight
A
Picked up the Bible
D
Shrugged off its rival
A E A
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
A
Well my girlfriend
D
Didn't like the whirlwind
A E
Of his words that quivered in their might
A
He spoke directly
D
Sometimes correctly
A E A
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
[Chorus]
A
I got the stare-down
D
He tore my fair down
A E
He said "sinner, when are you gonna see the light?"
A
Felt adolescent
D
Under fluorescent lights
A E A
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
[Chorus]
A
Got with my cousins
D
Nearly a dozen
A E
Of them big boys just scratchin' for a fight
A
Well we confused it
D
Then we renewed it
A E A
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
[Chorus]
A
I let a preacher
D
I let a preacher
