99. The Old-Time Religion

1 It was good for our mothers,
It was good for our mothers,
It was good for our mothers,
And it's good enough for me!

Chorus: 'Tis the old time religion,
'Tis the old time religion,
'Tis the old time religion,
And it's good enough for me!

2 Makes me love ev'rybody,
Makes me love ev'rybody,
Makes me love ev'rybody,
And it's good enough for me! [Chorus]

3 It has saved our fathers,
It has saved our fathers,
It has saved our fathers,
And it's good enough for me! [Chorus]

4 Makes me love the good old Bible,
Makes me love the good old Bible,
Makes me love the good old Bible,
And it's good enough for me! [Chorus]

5 It will lead me to Jesus,
It will lead me to Jesus,
It will lead me to Jesus,
And it's good enough for me! [Chorus]

6 It will do when I'm dying,
It will do when I'm dying,
It will do when I'm dying,
And it's good enough for me! [Chorus]

7 It will take us all to heaven,
It will take us all to heaven,
It will take us all to heaven,
And it's good enough for me! [Chorus]
