Preacher Tom Lyrics - Dolly Parton

(Dolly Parton) 

You know I grew up way back up in the country 

Where religion played a big part in my life 

I remember all day singings tent revivals and the old brush arbor meetings 

And the old country preachers that used to spread the gospel 

Throughout our part of country. 

Well, time went on and seemed like everything got so sophisticated 

That the old time country preacher seemed to be a thing of the past 

Well, that's what I thought till not long ago when I met a man that rerminded me 

Of all the little country preachers I'd ever know. 

And I wanted to write a song about him 

So preacher Tom wherever you may be 

I want you to know that I wrote this song for you 

And reach on preacher Tom preach on.

Preacher Tom your friends are many and your good deeds are a plenty 

And I know that God is pretty proud of you 

'Cause you've directed your attention toward a bright and shining mansion 

God promised to the one that pay the dues. 

So preacher Tom come on preach, let the one of which you speak 

Have his way let his precious will be done 

Preacher Tom come and teach of the one always in reach 

Saying whosever and we'll let him come 

Reach out preacher, Tom preach on, preach on, preacher Tom preach on. 

Your smile is like the sunshine bringing warmth and joy to others 

And love controls your understanding heart 

And the message that you spread is just like water to the thirsty 

A beacon that keeps shining through the dark. 

So preacher Tom come on preach, let the one of which you speak 

Have his way let his precious will be done 

Preacher Tom come and teach of the one always in reach 

Saying whosever and we'll let him come 

Reach out preacher, Tom preach on, preach on, preacher Tom preach on.
