Dr. Robert F. Thomas Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)



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. 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 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 



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
