Текст песни Country Baptizing - 1973 Live Version - Gram Parsons

Traveling down a country road on a 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 awhile and sing awhile
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 awhile and sing awhile
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 at 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 awhile and sing awhile
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 was a good old country baptizing I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
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 was a good old country baptizing I was at that day
They'd preach awhile and sing awhile
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
At a good old country baptizing down at the creek

Thank you
That was Emmylou Harris
This is an old song that I did with The Birds
When I wasn't very good and my life taken away from me
Sometimes all you can do is sing gospel music
