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 Repeat Chorus 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 Repeat Chorus
