Daddy was a preacher down in Alabama

A hell fire brimstone Bible thumpin’ hammer

He had a Sunday show at the radio station

Fifty thousand watts of screamin’ salvation

You had to drive two counties for a nip of corn liquere

Daddy poured it all out into the river

Closed down al the juke joints broke up all the dice

Worked two churches on a Sunday drive

There was faith healing camp meeting Mama singin’ Daddy preachin’

Better get right or you’re gonna get left

From town to town for miles around

Daddy whipped the devil with the Bible Belt

He said there won’t be no smokin’ won’t be no swearin’

No shackin’ up together up there in Heaven

In a world full of darkness

A lamp can make a difference

Come on and testify can I get a witness

Final Chorus

We had your hand raisin’ loud praisin’ tambourines and daddy sayin’

You better get right or gonna get left

From town to town for miles around

Daddy whipped the devil with the Bible Belt
