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   As we'd sing in the sweet 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 camps meeting'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 all we stilled in altar call   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   I guess it's cause the Lord was on my daddy's side   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'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's Land yes daddy was an old time preacher man
