This bluegrass gospel song was done by Flatt and Scruggs. Hope someone can send me the words.

The proper name is "Preaching, Praying, down on the public square." Jeepman

Could only find the listing...but no lyrics yet.

The Bluegrass Album Band Preaching Praying Singing
2:32

(E.C. McCarty/Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., BMI)

Only other info I could find was as follows:
"On Preaching Praying Singing, J.D. Crowe plays some fine Scruggs-style guitar. As its name implies, Scruggs-style guitar is highly influenced by the bluegrass banjo style's three-finger roll popularized by Earl Scruggs, who usually employed it on gospel material. (Flatt and Scruggs recorded the original Preaching Praying Singing."

regards, Yvonne
