(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
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
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
