Lyrics
The whole town turned out today to pay their last respects a man of the cloth has moved on I remember how he used to say, don't you cry for me when the Lord calls this old preacher home Cry for the hurting souls left behind the ones out on the street cry for the mothers and the little ones without enough to eat cry for the empty seats in the church but don't you cry for me when the Lord calls this old preacher home For 50 years he preached the word without compromise he always had that fire in his eyes and though his voice grew weak from the years of sunday morn's I could still hear him whisper don't you cry Cry for the hurting souls left behind the ones out on the street cry for the mothers and the little ones without enough to eat cry for the empty seats in the church but don't you cry for me when the Lord calls this old preacher home I imagine st. peter smiled when he showed up at the gates he'd waited a lifetime to shake his hand then one last time he turned around and shouted down to earth don't cry cause I've just gone home Cry for the hurting souls left behind the ones out on the street cry for the mothers and the little ones without enough to eat cry for the empty seats in the church but don't you cry for me when the Lord calls this old preacher home
