Melody Gardot - Preacherman Lyrics
Preacherman gon' tell me
where his body lie
said he down by the river now child
left him there to die
one by one we fall
if I had a solution now honey
I would fix us all
'Cause I believe in a world
where we all belong
and I'm so tired of seein'
every good man gone
Take me to that river
let the water wash me clean now honey
man done stole my pride
I have seen the darkness
lord knows I've seen the light
don't recall the lord
sayin' there's a difference
if you're black or white
'Cause I believe in a world
where we all belong
and I'm so tired of seein'
every good man gone
(ooooh ooooooh oooooh ooooooh)

Melody Gardot Preacherman Comments
There shouldn’t be any doubt about that Melody Gardot is one of the best artist (musician) of the last decade. And this song and video is one of the most Impressive and strongest since many years and still will remain it for a long long time. No words can describe it.
Melody Gardot - Preacherman lyrics:
Ooh
Ooh
Preacher man, go tell me
Where his body lies
Sitting down by the river, now, child
Left him there to die
One by one we tumble
One by one we fall
If I had a solution, now, honey
I would fix us all
'Cause I believe in a world
Where we all belong
And I'm so tired of seein'
Every good man gone
Take me to that river
Lay me by his side
Let the water wash me clean, now, honey
Man, don't stole my pride
I have seen the darkness
Lord knows… Light & Love...
This is the most powerful video I have seen for years. Melanie great music, great video.
There is ONE true light and you dont have HIM> Lucifer is taking your soul to the PIT.
I swear I've been searching for this song for at least 3-4 years. This is as good as I remembered!
Incredibly powerful...
How a Colorful is this video!!! Incredible song and clip!
Melody - this is inspirational song, inspirational video. Pure genius
suck it!
That saxophone at 5:50... love it
I love my polish teacher for showing this on lesson.. Amazing.
Jumped in the car at the right time to hear this amazing artist and song. Wow! Why isn't her name out there more? Amazing vocals!!
this is heaven <3
Imagine grown ass men killing an innocent child simply because he might or not have whistled to a white woman. They just wanted an excuse to kill a black person that day. Shameful.
More questions than answers..... evolution is a lie, depravity is proof! We need a SAVIOR!!!
How come I’ve never heard about this ? Omgeee 😞 how can you not cry watching this video ? Ugh
I got a message today that I lost a cousin of mine. Then by coincidence (??) I call up this video.
How come I did that just now?
This is Art
Fabulous. Thank you melody for restoring my faith in music.
one of the best music videos Ive seen in years...the message here is so powerfull and It almost made me cry, this song has a nice and cozy place in my heart...thank you so much for this
yıllar geçti sevgim hiç eksilmedi
I was the kid playing as emmit till in the video
Thank you for your performance.
I'm in literal tears watching this. Considering what happened in my country with the mosque shootings, this has struck me anew... The video and singer should have been given all the awards.
Beatifull
🎶♥️♥️♥️🎶
Voz única...❤...
Stunning video, stunning music😍😍😍
It’s got everything! It’s ART. Whole experience. You feel her pain. This world has real evil in it. She’s got such strength and dignity! It’s so hard to watch.
This music video is so dramatic and moving, I just love it. And the music really flows and suits with what is going on. Her voice also reminds me of Paloma faith’s
😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bonne répartie ;-)
Sublime singer. Poignant song. Powerful actress
"I have seen the darkness
Lord knows I've seen the light
Don't recall the Lord
Sayin' there's a difference
If you're black or white
'Cause I believe in a world
Where we all belong
And I'm so tired of seein'
Every good man gone"
The best song ı have ever listen
Rest In Peace Mr. Emmett Till. Thank you for your sacrifice
♀ ✍ 🎶🏆
Absolutely Brilliant.
I’m the one who was dead
Wow! such powerful emotions conveyed with such cinematic and acting skills. This really does deserve an award. Melody's voice always takes me to another place.
i have a lump in my throat.
Preacher man, go tell me
Where his body lies
Sitting down by the river, now, child
Left him there to die
One by one we tumble
One by one we fall
If I had a solution, now, honey
I would fix us all
'Cause I believe in a world
Where we all belong
And I'm so tired of seein'
Every good man gone
Take me to that river
Lay me by his side
Let the water wash me clean, now, honey
Man, don't stole my pride
I have seen the darkness
Lord knows…
Wonderful...
Magnifique, ça c'est de la Musique !
the queen of the blues
Tear~Singingly Dance~Sing Prayering's ....EL AMEN~Sela'| H | !!!!!!!!!
Amazing woman! Amazing artist! Amazing voice!
Just push the pause button enywhere in the video. You will see a masterpiece photography. And every case the pictures will show an another very strong emotion. Pride, hate, pity, sorry, contempt, symphaty..... etc.
Magnificent.
Supplicate to a God that is deaf, and mute.
her voice is hypnotizing
I was so captivated, immersed into this chronicle of a story that has been much too real, that I didn't hear the song! No words needed to capture the anguish, the torment, the hate. Filming in black and white was spot on for therein lies the gray matter. Had the mother passed her child's killer in the darkest faces in the field or was it those seemingly transparent smirks? Intended or not, the irony was not lost that the mother was of both races, facing prejudices on both sides. Not ONE person came to her aid in such a tragedy, carrying the unimaginable burden of finding her son in such a manner, mentally and emotionally and to also bear the physical pain carrying her child's lifeless body all that way.
The caged dog seemed to show more empathy than any other being other than the Preacherman.
I agree! How did this not get a Grammy!?
Başarılı!
The woman in this video needs an award of some kind. Such as simple, underrated and yet powerful performance.
I think she's more than a talented artist and musician. I think she's an Angel (many centuries over again) that landed here for those of us that need her. When I have a crappy day, I turn her on and she always puts me back in my place where I am meant to be. She's a reckoning to be dealt with, that's for sure. There's nothing like her, I'm so fortunate to have run across her music.
This actress has such a charisma such a presence one could almost grab it.
Gran pezzo, voce calda, testo importante. Il video, con evidenti riferimenti al martirio di Emmett Till, è fenomenale
What an intense video
I wonder what happend to that kid
If you get a chance....must see her in concert! Breathtaking....raised the hairs on every part of my body!
It is a beautiful video, but honestly if you are curious about the story of Emmett Till please go read up on it, and see the photos of his body. He was brutally killed, the photos are hard to look at but things like this should be seen and known. He was accused of flirting with a white woman, but innocent, the accuser confessed a few years ago that it was a lie...
I'm a fan since she began ... she is special .. ❤️
Magnificent 👍👍👍
EXTRAORDINARY
great! wow
Look up Emmett Till. This video has the feel of that tragedy.
the scene where she is removing barbed wire from his body in the water is exactly like Emmett Till
Hеrеееe is reаlly full аnd hd Рreaaасhеr => https://twitter.com/2bdeb0e9cf43c54b2/status/874808841887600640
fantastique,merveilleux
That voice + that actress = 1 sublime video.
The most perfect of the masterpieces! the whole world needs to listen/watch this!
ΓΑΜΑΕΙ ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΑΡΧΗ ΩΣ ΤΟ ΤΕΛΟΣ!!!
Thank you so much for your music and for the video! So much!
Melody is the Style! Great singer and composer !
holy shit. I just discovered her.
One of the most amazing video/ song combinations ever. Gives me chills every time, just love her.
wondeful great artist
Who are those 86 fricking monsters who disliked the viedo!!!
So fucking underrated!!!!
Sometimes you come across a song by chance...and you realize you were meant to hear it.
complete awesomness in everyway
this is fantastic
After 06:13, it's remind me another old song. Someone knows what I'm talking about ?
POLSKA PRZEJMUJE TEN KLIP!!!!
God that sax solo at 5:50. It all fits so well. Great clip, great performance and above all, the moral of the story.
I agree :)
*subscribes*
WOW..Impactful!!
Imagine this,
you had an accident, when you're riding your bicycle. In the accident you suffered serious head and spinal injuries. Then an attending physician who believed music would help your brain injury drastically improve, you began writing music after your accident...
And then give this gift for the world, a perfect song like this...
This is who Melody Gardot is...
I can't be sure what the feel about this, really. If I have to be mad to the driver of the SUV who caused your accident or be greatful to him to give you as a gift, like your songs to the whole world...
Thank you Melody, for perfection... Keep on!
'Cause I believe in a world, where we all belong...
Love from Turkey!
Ali Gökhan Dilek great thoughts
Ali Gökhan Dilek wow. That’s powerful. It’s a tragedy with a silver lining as you didn’t let it beat you or define you. So inspiring. One of my fave novels is ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’ by Jean Dominique Bauby. about suffering then courage and triumph. You should write your story...take care and stay positive. ❤️ yes music heals the mind body and soul. 💪
chapeau!

Zuka
Director: Calum Macdiarmid
