Subject: Lyr Add: OLD TIME CHRISTIAN (from Norman Blake)
I couldn't find this in the DT, but maybe I looked in the wrong place.

OLD TIME CHRISTIAN
(Norman and Nancy Blake version)

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 down the grand old highway
And I'm telling everyone that I know
That I'd rather be an old time Christian
Than anything I know.

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.

chorus

There are many things I'd like to be
As my journey I pursue
I would long to be a leader
As a mortal man would do
I'd like to be a millionaire
With a million to bestow
That I'd rather be an old time Christian, Lord
Than anything I know.

chorus

All the world is bright since I got right
I sing and pray and shout
All my burdens have been lifted
Since the savior brought me out
I will sing his praises far and near
As I travel here below
But I'd rather be an old time Christian, Lord
Than anything I know.
