Lyrics:

Daddy was an old time preacher man He preacher 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 he need to pray He talked about God's wrath and judgement day He preached about the great eternity He preached hell so hot that you could feel the heat Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man Aunt Leanona would get up to testify And we'd sing 'In The Sweet By And By' The we'd sing 'I'm On My Way To Canaan Land' Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man Revivals and camp meetings went for 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 calls Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man Daddy worked for God but asked for no pay For he believed that God provides a way We never had a lot but we got by Guess it's 'cause the Lord was on Daddy's side Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
