lyrics

Stuttering Cindy and Stammering Sue
Lived way beyond the tracks
Grabbed their Daddy's Colt 45
And ain't ever going back

They hitched a ride on the county side
With a preacher man named Slim
He had a ¼ tank and 5 bucks in the bank
But he had plans for them

You see, Slim could talk to God
And if Cindy and Sue would like
He'd ask the Almighty Lord above
Too help them in their plight

When Sunday rolled around
A new town of sinners to be saved
Stuttering Cindy and Stammering Sue
Would stumble upon the stage

Chorus:
Help us Preacher Slim!
Our minds are clear and bright
In front of these people we swear, that we are here
To M-m-m-m-make us feel alright

Well didn't the people eat this up?
And the money started to roll in
Stuttering Cindy and Stammering Sue
Touring the country with Preacher Slim

It was easy enough to do
No one called them on their tricks
Until Stumbling Sandy showed one day
Looking to be fixed

Chorus:
Help me Preacher Slim!
My mind is clear and bright
In front of these people I swear, I'm here
For you to M-m-m-m-make me feel alright

Preacher Slim knew he was beat
And slipped on out the back
While Stuttering Cindy and Stammering Sue
Remembered their Dad out beyond the track

That man who gave them nothing
But a hankering to rob and steal
Was the same kinda dog who ran out the back
With their money smiling behind the wheel

Chorus:
Forget You Preacher Slim
Our minds are clear and bright
Let it be said that you are better off dead
Then making us feel alright
