Country Baptizing - Gram Parsons

Traveling down a country road on a Sunday morn

Saw a crowd gathered at the creek at a little country farm

I thought that I’d go closer 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 sing awhile then they’d all kneel 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 an old and gentle voice sing right in the end

We’re so glad to have you here welcome down my friend

We’ve had a big revival sir down to it all week

Now we’re having a baptizing down at the creek

Well among them happy be among that happy throne

See them all go air their sins while they’re at their own

They seem to be saying with a smile upon their face

I’m ready now to move along to my resting place

Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day

They’d preach awhile and sing awhile then they’d all kneel 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
