[Chorus:]
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
May his name forever stand

Dr. Robert F. Thomas
Was a mighty, mighty man
And he enriched the lives

Of everyone that ever knew him
And in my song I hope to sing
Some of the praise that's due him


Dr. Thomas was a man
The Lord must have appointed

To live among us mountain folks
In eastern Tennessee
And he delivered more than half

The babies in those mountains
Among those babies
He delivered me


There was no way to drive along
The roads back in those mountains

But Dr. Thomas got there
Just the same
He often rode on horseback

To get where he was needed
But if he had to walk
He always came


[Chorus]


Dr. Thomas was a friend
A neighbor and a doctor
Though he seldom got a dime

For all he'd done
And I remember lots of times
We sent for Dr. Thomas

But I don't recall a time
He didn't come


They say a man is judged
By the deeds he does while livin'
A judgement when he stands

Before the Lord
And I know heaven holds a place
For men like Dr. Thomas

And I know that he'll receive
His just reward


[Chorus]
