Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man
Porter Wagoner And Dolly Parton

Chorus:
 C                                    
Daddy was an old time preacher man

                                             G7     
He preached the word of God throughout the land

        F                                    C      
He praeached so plain a child could understand

                   G7                  C     
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

F                              C     
He preached about that great eternity

              G7                                     C     
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

           C                        G7    
As we'd sing in the sweet by and by

            C                F                 Bb     
Then we'd sing I'm on my way to Canaan's Land

       C             G7                   C    
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

        F                                C        
Daddy said if one is saved it's worth it all

           G7                                   C     
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

      F                          C    
We never had a lot but we got by

               G7                                  C     
I guess it's cause the Lord was on my daddy's side


  C                                       
Yes daddy was an old time preacher man

                     G7              F                         C     
In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore

 C                            F           C             G7                   C    
I'm on my way to Canaan's Land yes daddy was an old time preacher man

                     G7              F                         C     
In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore

                             F          C             G7                   C    
I'm on my way to Canaan's Land yes daddy was an old time preacher man
