Traveling down a country road on one 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 a while and sing a while, 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
Was a good old country baptizing I was at that day
They'd preach a while and sing a while, 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

Well among them happy be among that happy throne
See them all go air their sins while they're on 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 a while and sing a while, then they'd all kneel down and pray
God's spirit seemed to fill the air and every soul was meek

It's Emmylou Harris
This is an old song that I did with The Byrds
When I was in fear of gettin' my life taken away from me
Sometimes all you can do is sing gospel music
