Methodist Church
Cades Cove
Great Smokey Mountain
National Park
The old country church
There's a place near to me, where I'm
longing to be
If you get a chance, go back in
time and visit Cades Cove.

With my friends at the old country church
There with mother we went, and our Sundays were spent
With our friends at the old country church.
As a small country boy, how my heart beat with joy
When I knelt in the old country church
And the Savior above, by His wonderful love
Saved my soul at the old country church.
How I wish that today all the people would pray
As we prayed in the old country church
If they'd only confess, Jesus surely would bless
As he did in the old country church.
Of't my thoughts make me weep, for so many now sleep
In their graves near the old country church
And sometime I may rest, with the friends I love best
In a grave near the old country church.
Precious years of memories,
Oh what joy they bring to me ( they bring to me)
How I long once more to be, With my friends
at the old country church
A beautiful place set in the
Smokey Mountains.
Do you
remember your old country
church?
Memories are forever.
