Lyrics
Chorus
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 in the grand old highway
And I'm telling ev'rywhere I go
That I'd rather be an
Old-time Christian
Than anything I know
Verse
In this world
I've tried most ev'rything
And I'm happy now to say
There is nothing like religion
In the good old fashioned way
I am walking in the old-time way
And I want the world to know
That I'd rather be an old-time Christian
Than anything I know
Verse 2
There are many things I'd like to be
As my journey I pursue
I have longed to be a leader
Like a mortal man would do
I would like to be a millionaire
With a million to bestow
But I'd rather be
An old-time Christian
Than anything I know
Verse 3
All the world is bright
Since I got right
Now I sing and pray and shout
All my burdens have been lifted
Since the Savior bro't 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
Than anything I know
