Songs stuck in my head!

For the last few days ,I have had two songs stuck in my head. I find myself singing and humming them as I walk to work or clean the bathroom. They are songs of my childhood and not something I chose to listen to but rather I was forced to listen. After a few days of trying to remember the words I had to succumb to looking for the lyrics online. Watch out because if you read the lyrics you will have them stuck in your head. Don't ask who - but these two songs remind me of people that are close to my heart.

Johnny Cash
Ring of Fire
Love is a burning thing
and it makes a firery ring
bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire...
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like our's meet
I fell for you
like a child
oh, but the fire went wild..
I fell in to a burning ring of fire.....[etc]

Dusty Springfield (who?)
Son of a Preacher Man
Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit
he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A-through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oooh, yes he was
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, Lord knows he was
How well I rememberT
he look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we've grown
And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man
Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
Ahh, move me
