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
And Leona, would get up to testify
As we'd sing, In the sweet (In the sweet), by and by (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 camp 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 always filled, at altar call
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
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
I guess, it's cause the Lord, was on my daddy's side
Yes, daddy, was an old-time preacher man
In the sweet (In the sweet), by and by (By and by)
We shall meet, on that beautiful shore
I'm on my way (I'm on my way), to Canaan's Land
Yes, daddy, was an old-time preacher man
In the sweet (In the sweet), by and by (By and by)
We shall meet, on that beautiful shore
I'm on my way (I'm on my way), to Canaan's Land
Yes, daddy, was an old-time preacher man
In the sweet (In the sweet), by and by (By and by)
We shall meet, on that beautiful shore
