[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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]
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

[Verse 3]
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
