ChorusC
Daddy was an old time preacher man
G7
He preached the word of God throughout the land
FC
He praeached so plain a child could understand
G7C
Yes daddy was an old time preacher man
C
He told the people of the need to pray
G7
He talked about God's wrath on Judgement Day
FC
He preached about that great eternity
G7C
He preached hell so hot that you could feel the heat
C
Daddy was an old time preacher man
G7
And Leona would get up to testify
CG7
As we'd sing in the sweet by and by
CFBb
Then we'd sing I'm on my way to Canaan's Land
CG7C
Yes daddy was an old time preacher man
C
Revivals and camps meetin's with four weeks
G7
Folks came from all around to hear him preach
FC
Daddy said if one is saved it's worth it all
G7C
But the aisles were always filled to altar call
C
Daddy worked for God but asked no pay
G7
For he believed that God provides away
FC
We never had a lot but we got by
G7C
I guess it's cause the Lord was on my daddy's side
C
Yes daddy was an old time preacher man
G7FC
In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore
CFCG7C
I'm on my way to Canaan's Land yes daddy was an old time preacher man
G7FC
In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore
FCG7C
I'm on my way to Canaan's Land yes daddy was an old time preacher man
