I grew up in eastern Kentucky. My childhood home was very close to an Old Regular Baptist church. During the summer months on the 4th Sunday of the month with the church windows open wide this music was to become a wonderful childhood memory. Little did I realize how much this would come to remind me of my home in the hills.

Wow. This brings back so many memories of sitting in a little church outside Ironton, Ohio. Congregation was small, sometimes only 5 or 6 people. Only church I ever attended that seemed in touch with God. Not that none of others weren't...I just didn't feel it. The name of the church was "Old Regular Primitive Baptist Church in Jesus Christ" It was in Pine Grove, Ohio. God Bless you all!

This style is still done on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland only in gaelic.

@iokmember - I think I know the name. Did he preach at either True Vine or Pleasant View?

My dad was a preacher here in Knott County. These songs bring back a lot of memories. We lived in Quick Sand / Decoy.

@skankintoe  Depends on which church you go to. There are a lot of Old Reg. Churches out there and lots are still full of the spirit of God and strong

I love this song, and would love to have a copy of the lyrics. Does anyone know where I can track them down? I went to the folkways site and checked the liner notes to no avail...

i love the Old time way...im growing up in this church and it is the most amazing thing to listen to the preachers and the songs that they sing. IT is also amazing to watch them deal with buisiness of the current world while still clinging to that old time way..its just beautiful...
