Gram Parsons - The Old Country Baptizing lyrics

Traveling down a country road on one Sunday morn' I saw a crowd at the creek on a little country farm I thought I'd move closer in so I might see and hear Why they looked so happy there without a thing to fear Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day They'd preach awhile and sang awhile then all knelt down and pray God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek At a good old country baptizing down at the creek I heard a low and gentle voice inviting me to come in We are glad to have you here welcome my friend We've held a great revival sir up at the Church all week Now we're having our baptizing here in the creek Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day They'd preach awhile and sang awhile then all knelt down and pray God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek At a good old country baptizing down at the creek I was glad I could be among happy among that happy throng To see Him wash their sins away while they're at their own You could almost hear them say with a smile upon their face I'm ready now to move along unto my resting place Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day They'd preach awhile and sang awhile then all knelt down and pray God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek At a good old country baptizing down at the creek Well, it was a good old country baptizing I was at that day They'd preach awhile and sang awhile then all knelt down and pray God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek At a good old country baptizing down at the creek There was a good old country baptizing I was at that day They'd preach awhile and sang awhile then all knelt down and pray God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek At a good old country baptizing down at the creek
