In this world I’ve tried most everything 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 (Lord) Than anything I know. 
CHORUS: I’d rather be an old-time Christian (Lord) 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 (Lord) Than anything I know. 
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 (Lord) Than anything I know. 
chorus 
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 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 (Lord) Than anything I know.
