Dr. Robert F. Thomas

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
 Dr. Robert F. Thomas
