  			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 

Repeat Chorus 
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
