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
