Skeeter Davis - Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man lyrics

Daddy was an old time preacher man He preached the word of God throughout the land He praeached 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 Judgement Day He preached about that great eternity He breathed hell so hot that you could feel the heat Daddy was an old time preacher man and Leona would get up to testify And we'd sing in the sweet by and by then we'd sing I'm on my way to Canaan Land Yes daddy was an old time preacher man Revivals and camps meetin's with four 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 allways filled at altar calls Daddy was an old time preacher man... Daddy worked for God but asked no pay for he believed that God provides away We never had a lot but we got by yes it's cause the Lord was on my daddy's side Daddy was an old time preacher man In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore I'm on my way to Canaan's Land yes daddy was an old time preacher man In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore I'm on my way to Canaan Land yes daddy was an old time preacher man
