Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man

Daddy was an old time preacher man

He preached 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 the need to pray

He talked about God’s wrath on Judgment Day

He preached about that great eternity

He   preached hell so hot that you could feel the heat

Daddy was an old time preacher man

Aunt Leona would get up to testify

As we’d sing In The Sweet By and By

Then we’d sing I’m on My Way to Canaan’s Land

Yes daddy was an old time preacher man

Revivals and camps meetings with 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 to altar call

Daddy was an old time preacher man

Aunt Leona would get up to testify

As we’d sing In The Sweet By and By

Then we’d sing I’m on My Way to Canaan’s Land

Yes daddy was an old time preacher man

Daddy worked for God but asked 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

Daddy was an old time preacher man

Aunt Leona would get up to testify

As we’d sing In The Sweet By and By

Then we’d sing I’m on My Way to Canaan’s Land

Yes daddy was an old time preacher man
