I'd Rather Be An Old-Time Christian - The Kingsmen

In this world I've tried most everything

I'm happy now to say there's nothing like religion

In the good old fashioned way

I'm walking in the old time way

And I want the world to know

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know

I'd rather be an old time Christian than anything I know

There's nothing like an old time Christian

With a Christian love to show

I'm walking in the grand old highway

And I'm telling everywhere I go

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know

All the world is bright since I got right

Now I sing and pray and shout

All my burdens have been lifted

Since the Savior brought me out

I will tell the world both far

And near as I travel here below

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know

I'd rather be an old time Christian than anything I know

There's nothing like an old time Christian

With a Christian love to show

I'm walking in the grand old highway

And I'm telling everywhere I go

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know

I'd rather be an old time Christian than anything I know

There's nothing like an old time Christian

With a Christian love to show

I'm walking in the grand old highway

And I'm telling everywhere I go

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know
