Dr. Robert F. Thomas Lyrics - Dolly Parton

(Dolly Parton) 

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 

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 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 

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
