C             F            C                    C7
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

C               F               C
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]
C                   F                  C
I like the old time preaching praying  shouting  singing

C                   D7               G7
I like the old time reading of God's word

C                   F          C
I like to hear them Glory Hallelujahs ringing

C                   G7             C
I like the old time worship of the Lord

C                 F             C                           C7
Preaching in them good old days was filled with a holy flame

F                 C                D7              G7
Preaching for the souls of men and not for worldly fame

C              F                   C                    C7
Under such old fashioned preaching sinners fell to pray

F            C                       G7               C
And the Lord did save them in that good old fashioned way
[Chorus]

I like the old time preaching praying  shouting  singing

I like the old time reading of God's word

C                   F                 C

C                   G7             C
I like the old time worship of the Lord

C               F                  C                      C7
In these latter days they say that there's no use to pray

F                 C               D7           G7
All we need is to think religion 'tis a better way

C               F                C
But I'm glad to tell you brother Jesus saves from sin

F               C               G7                C
In the old time way He saved me now He dwells within
[Chorus]
C                   F                  C
I like the old time preaching praying  shouting  singing

C                   D7               G7
I like the old time reading of God's word

C                   F                 C
I like to hear them Glory Hallelujahs ringing

C                   G7             C
I like the old time worship of the Lord
