(Dolly Parton)

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.

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 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.

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. Robert F. Thomas...
