Album: The Old Fashioned Way

1st
Was a white washed building
By the railroad tracks
Slatted old benches
Floor full of cracks
Windows would rattle
When the train would go by
While the choir was singing
In the sweet by and by

Chorus
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
: They were singing and shouting
Kneeling down to pray
Giving praises to the Lord
In that good old fashioned way :

2nd
Every month or so
There'd be dinner on the grounds
Crowds would start to gather
They'd come from miles around
We'd have afternoon singings
Lots of food to eat
When the time came to baptize
We'd all go to the creek

Shall we gather at the river
The beautiful, beautiful river : chorus

Tag
In the sweet by and by
We shall gather at the river
