Travelling 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 and all knelt down and prayed God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek At the 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
