Dr. Robert F. Thomas |
|
Chorus: |
|
Dr. robert f. thomas |
|
May his name forever stand |
|
Dr. robert f. thomas |
|
Was a mighty, mighty man |
|
And he enriched the lives |
|
Of everyone that ever knew him |
|
And in my song i hope to sing |
|
Some of the praise that's due him |
|
Dr. thomas was a man |
|
The lord must have appointed |
|
To live among us mountain folks |
|
In eastern tennessee |
|
And he delivered more than half |
|
The babies in those mountains |
|
Among those babies |
|
He delivered me |
|
There was no way to drive along |
|
The roads back in those mountains |
|
But dr. thomas got there |
|
Just the same |
|
He often rode on horseback |
|
To get where he was needed |
|
But if he had to walk |
|
He always came |
|
Dr. thomas was a friend |
|
A neighbor and a doctor |
|
Though he seldom got a dime |
|
For all he'd done |
|
And i remember lots of times |
|
We sent for dr. thomas |
|
But i don't recall a time |
|
He didn't come |
|
They say a man is judged |
|
By the deeds he does while livin' |
|
A judgement when he stands |
|
Before the lord |
|
And i know heaven holds a place |
|
For men like dr. thomas |
|
And i know that he'll receive |
|
His just reward |
