An Old Convention Song
by The Cathedrals

Album: Best of the Cathedrals

Verse 1
Used to come from miles around have dinner on the ground underneath those old shade trees
And sing the old songs in shape notes in four part harmony
Like He set me free and He'll fly with me
And anywhere is home
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song?

Chorus 1
I'd still ( I'd still) love to hear ( love to hear) those old convention songs
That i heard ( that I heard) as a child ( just a little child) as we'd sing them all day long
Like I'm gonna walk and just little talk and (all) all the day long
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song?

Verse 2
Gospel songs today have a lot to say they lift you up when feeling down
Some have a country flavor some have a modern sound
They all have a need of planting seed and I know they can't go wrong
But there's none so dear as when I hear an old convention song

Repeat Chorus 1

Chorus 2
How long ( how long) has it been ( has it been ) since you heard after awhile?
How long ( how long) since you heard ( since you heard) give the world a smile?
How long since you heard I'm winging my way back home ?
How long ( how long) has it been since you heard an old convention song?
