(Verse)
In this world I′ve tried most everything
And I’m happy now to say
There′s nothing like religion
In the good old-fashioned way
I’m walking in this old time way
And I want the world to know
That I’d rather be an old time Christian
More than anything I know

(Chorus)
I′d rather be an old time Christian
More than anything I know
There′s nothing like an old time Christian
With a Christian love to show
I’m walking in the grand old highway
And I′m telling everywhere I go
That I’d rather be an old time Christian
More than anything I know

(Verse)
All the world is bright since I got right
Now I sing and pray and shout
All the burdens have been lifted
Since the Savior brought me out
I will tell the world both far and near
As I travel here below
That I′d rather be an old time Christian
More than anything I know
