The Old Country Baptizing
Emmylou Harris

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
