(Dolly Parton)

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
