He preached the Word of God
a child could understand.
He told the people of the need to pray.
He talked about God's wrath
He preached about that great eternity.
And 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.
In the sweet, by and by, them beats sing
I'm on my way to Canaan's land
Yes, Daddy was an old -time
Revivals and camp meetings
Folks came from all around
Daddy said if one is saved it's worth it all
But the aisles were always
Daddy was an old time preacher man
He preached the word of God
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
Daddy was an old time preacher man.
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
I'm on my way to Canaan's land
Yes, Daddy was an old -time preacher man
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
I'm on my way to Canaan's land.
I'm on my way to Canaan's land.
