(Dolly Parton) |
|
Daddy was an old time preacher man |
|
He preacher the word of |
|
God throughout the land |
|
He preached so plain a child could understand |
|
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man |
|
He told the people of he need to pray |
|
He talked about |
|
God's wrath and judgement day |
|
He preached about the great eternity |
|
He preached hell so hot that you could feel the heat |
|
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man |
|
Aunt Leanona would get up to testify |
|
And we'd sing "In The Sweet By And By" |
|
The we'd sing "I'm On My Way To Canaan Land" |
|
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man |
|
Revivals and camp meetings went for weeks |
|
Folks came from all around to hear him preach |
|
Daddy said if one is saved it's worth it all |
|
But the aisles were always filled at altar calls |
|
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man |
|
Daddy worked for |
|
God but asked for no pay |
|
For he believed that |
|
God provides a way |
|
We never had a lot but we got by |
|
Guess it's 'cause the |
|
Lord was on |
|
Daddy's side |
|
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man |
