George Jones - Mama Was A Preacher Man lyrics

Mama was a preacher man, mama was God's right hand I remember when daddy died, he said the Lord was by his side With his last breath he said, "I'm going 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 soul 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 around I sit there on the very first row as she pleaded to lost souls Telling 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 around Mama was a preacher man
