G C G
Traveling down a country road on one Sunday morn
A7 D7
I Saw a crowd gathered at the creek near a little country farm
G C G
I thought that I'd move closer in, so I might see and hear
D7 G
Why they looked so happy there without a thing to fear
Chorus
G C G
Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day
A7 D7
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile then they'd all kneel down and pray
G C G
God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek
D7 G
At a good old country baptizing down at the creek
Verse 2
G C G
Then a low and gentle voice invited me come in
A7 D7
We're so glad to have you here welcome now my friend
G C G
We've held a great revival sir up at the church all week
D7 G
Now we're having a baptizing down at the creek
Chorus
G C G
Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day
A7 D7
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile then they'd all kneel down and pray
G C G
God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek
D7 G
At a good old country baptizing down at the creek
Verse 3
G C G
Well I'm so glad that I could be among that happy throng
A7 D7
Watch them wash their sins away while they right their wrongs
G C G
Seems that you could hear them say with a smile upon their face
D7 G
Lord I'm ready now to move along to my resting place
Chorus
G C G
Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day
A7 D7
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile then they'd all kneel down and pray
G C G
God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek
D7 G
At a good old country baptizing down at the creek
