Mama Was a Preacher Man

I remember when daddy died, he said the Lord was by his side

With his last breath, he said I'm goin' to the promised land

That's when mama told us all that she had heard the call

And mama would be a preacher man.

Far as I can remember back mama was a woman that dressed in black

With the sould filled full of gospel and the Bible in her hand

She would go from town to town spreading God's word all around

Yes mama, was a real strong preacher man.

Mama was a preacher man, mama was God's right hand

Mama really knew just how to reach way out

Mama was a preacher man, mama was God's right hand

Mama knew what the holy word was all about.

I sit there on the very first row as she pleaded to lost souls

Tellin' them about Jesus there in the holy land

Although mama past away she still lives on today

Yes mama, was an old time preacher man.

Mama was a preacher man, mama was God's right hand

Mama really knew just how to reach way out

Mama was a preacher man, mama was God's right hand

Mama knew what the holy word was all about.

Mama was a preacher man...
