| He preacher the word of | |

| 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 | |

| But the aisles were always filled at altar calls | |
| Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man | |

| God but asked for no pay | |
| For he believed that | |
| God provides a way | |

| Guess it's 'cause the | |
| Lord was on | |
| Daddy's side | |
| Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man |
