Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man Lyrics - Skeeter Davis

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
