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.

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.
