Transposer:

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

La chanson évoque la vie d'un prédicateur passionné, qui partageait la parole de Dieu avec simplicité et conviction. Elle décrit comment il prêchait sur la nécessité de prier et sur les conséquences de nos actions face au jugement divin, tout en transmettant un message d'espoir pour l'éternité. On ressent l'ambiance des réunions de prière et des campagnes spirituelles, où les gens venaient nombreux pour entendre ses sermons, souvent remplis de ferveur religieuse. Ce prédicateur ne recherchait pas de récompense matérielle, car sa foi en Dieu lui suffisait. Bien qu'ils n'avaient pas beaucoup de biens, sa famille était comblée par la présence divine dans leur vie. La chanson fait aussi référence à la promesse de retrouvailles dans l'au-delà, renforçant l'idée que la foi offre une lumière au-delà des épreuves de cette vie.
