(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
