dolly parton - preacher tom lyrics
(dolly parton)
you know i grew up way back up in the country
where religion played a big part in my life
i remember all day singings tent revivals and the old brush arbor meetings
and the old country preachers that used to spread the gospel
throughout our part of country.
well, time went on and seemed like everything got so sophisticated
that the old time country preacher seemed to be a thing of the past
well, that’s what i thought till not long ago when i met a man that rerminded me
of all the little country preachers i’d ever know.
and i wanted to write a song about him
so preacher tom wherever you may be
i want you to know that i wrote this song for you
and reach on preacher tom preach on.
preacher tom your friends are many and your good deeds are a plenty
and i know that god is pretty proud of you
’cause you’ve directed your attention toward a bright and shining mansion
god promised to the one that pay the dues.
so preacher tom come on preach, let the one of which you speak
have his way let his precious will be done
preacher tom come and teach of the one always in reach
saying whosever and we’ll let him come
reach out preacher, tom preach on, preach on, preacher tom preach on.
your smile is like the sunshine bringing warmth and joy to others
and love controls your understanding heart
and the message that you spread is just like water to the thirsty
a beacon that keeps shining through the dark.
so preacher tom come on preach, let the one of which you speak
have his way let his precious will be done
preacher tom come and teach of the one always in reach
saying whosever and we’ll let him come
reach out preacher, tom preach on, preach on, preacher tom preach on.
preacher tom come on preach, let the one of which you speak
have his way let his precious will be done
preacher tom come and teach of the one always in reach
saying whosever and we’ll let him come
reach out preacher, tom preach on, preach on, preacher tom preach on.
so preacher tom come on preach, let the one of which you speak
have his way let his precious will be done
preacher tom come and teach of the one always in reach
saying whosever and we’ll let him come
reach out preacher, tom preach on, preach on, preacher tom preach on…
