Long ago when but a boy at old camp meeting time
F C D7 G7
How my heart did leap with joy to hear the old bells chime

Calling all the saints of God into the house of prayer
F C G7 C
Oh such praying singing shouting for the Lord was there
[Chorus]

I like the old time preaching praying shouting singing

I like the old time reading of God's word

I like to hear them Glory Hallelujahs ringing

I like the old time worship of the Lord

Preaching in them good old days was filled with a holy flame

And the Lord did save them in that good old fashioned way

In the old time way He saved me now He dwells within
