OLD BRUSH ARBORS
Gordon Ardis and Darrell Edwards

I remember them so clearly.
Mom and Dad loved them so dearly.
Old brush arbors by the side of the road.
Where I learned about salvation
From the book of Revelation
In them arbors by the side of the road.

CHORUS 1: Old brush arbors by the side of the road,
Where a sinner could lay down his heavy load.
It was in those old brush arbors,
Troubled soul found peaceful harbor.
Brush arbors by the side of the road.

Many times I had departed
From the way of life I started
In them arbors by the side of the road.
But each time the devil caught me,
I remembered what they taught me
In brush arbors by the side of the road.

CHORUS 2: Old brush arbors by the side of the road,
Where the mighty light of God's great mercy flowed,
There was praying, shouting, singing
Till the countryside was ringing
In brush arbors by the side of the road.

[Recorded by George Jones on "I'm a People", 1966, and several later albums; also by Pat Boone and by The Osborne Brothers.]
