Doc Watson - Old Camp Meetin Time Lyrics

Long ago when but a boy at old camp meetin' time
How my heart did leap with joy to hear the old bells chime
Callin' all the saints of God onto the house of prayer
Oh such praying singing shouting for the Lord was there

I like the old time preaching praying shouting singing
I like the old time reading of God's words
I like to hear them glory hallelujah ringing
I like the old time worship of the Lord

[ fiddle ]
Preaching in them good ole days was filled with holy flame
Preaching for the souls of men and not for wordly fame
Under such old fashion preaching sinners knelt and pray
And the Lord did save them in that good ole fashion way

I like the old time preaching praying shouting singing...

[ dobro - guitar ]
In these latter days they say that there's no use to pray
All we needed is to thank religion 'tis a better way
But I'm here to tell you brother Jesus saved from sin
In that old time way he saved me he now dwells within

I like the old time preaching praying shouting singing...

[ fiddle ]
