Shady Grove Deliverance

Oh, where have they gone, my brothers; oh, where are they now,
those old camp meetings I remember?
Where the folks would gather ‘round, and have singin’ on the ground,
and have baptizin’ in the river?
 
We’d shout hallelujah, we’d shout hal-le-lu,
we’d say to our neighbor, “howdy do.”
We would say we’re glad we came, yes, we’re so glad we came,
to th’ole camp meetin’ at the river.
 
There’s a spirit oh so sweet each time we gather to meet,
Beulah Land’s mournful strains a’risin’.  
The harmony is so sweet, that it simply can’t be beat,
on this there is no compromisin’.
 
We’d shout hallelujah, we’d shout hal-le-lu,
we’d say to our neighbor, “howdy do.”
We would say we’re glad we came, yes, we’re so glad we came,
to th’ole camp meetin’ at the river.  
 
Folks would be a’prayin’, that the Spirit would be swayin’.
Then all the people commenced t’-sayin’
how extraordinary good the Lord had been today,
for any lambs that had been strayin’.
 
We’d shout hallelujah, we’d shout hal-le-lu,
we’d say to our neighbor, “howdy do.”
We would say we’re glad we came, yes, we’re so glad we came,
to th’ole camp meetin’ at the river.
 
Preacher Jones would start extollin’, his face turned to the sky,
he preached ‘til the stars started shinin’.
As we said our last good-byes, there were many a’ teary eyes,
we knew the Lord had been attendin’.
 
Those cherished memories, we will not forget,
Those precious thoughts, linger with us yet.
Jesus Christ will meet you there, He is waiting for your prayer,
Jesus will meet you at the river.
