heartsong7 please come home for christmas...a twist!

Today was the day my wonderful Mom (who is now with the Lord) was born....October 17, 1925! I wanted to re-write a song in her memory. I thought to myself...other than God....what was her greatest love...the answer came quickly...Her husband, Emil Wolf and her family..my sister Vi (Pottershand) and myself.

So I wrote a song about the man she was devoted to all her life...My Dad...

We sang and travelled throughout the United States and Canada when we were growing up. We had NO home. Only a small travel trailer, with no running water or even washroom....but we had God! And to us....Daddy was .....

KING OF THE ROAD!!

Daddy was a preacher man
With his little family band….
No phone no pool no pets.
He just sang with his family quartet!
Ah, but..two hours of praisin’ God
Playing on his Gibson guitar!
He was a man of God by all means
King of the road.

Little trailer, fifty four Chev
Was the only home they had.
Traveling far across the land
With his little family band
He would preach the fire of God right down
Teaching folks the right from wrong
He was a man of God by all means
King of the road.

He knew every Pastor in every church
All of their children, and all of their names
He would bring blessings to every town
And every one would hear them sing
the gospel in song!


Daddy was a preacher man,
With his little family band…
No phone no pool no pets.
He just sang with his family quartet
Ah, but..two hours of praisin’ God
Playing on his Gibson guitar!
He was a man of God by all means
King of the road.
(repeat)


re-written by Deelyght Jagessar, in honor of her Mom's birthday ...whose greatest earthly love was her husband..."King of the Road!"

Awesome. This is a wonderful dedication to your mother. I wish she was still alive, I think everyone at SingSnap would thank her for raising two beautiful godly daughters who seek to bless us here.

PS Did you know that the king of the road would want to introduce you to The King of Kings?

BTW I am nominating this for Hall of Fame so the lyrics spread - fantastic job Deelyght!!!
