Hello, all, I need help finding the lyrics to the song called Campmeeting time, from the 1959 Lp Riverboat Jubilee by the Sons of Song.

If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.

Hi Wyatt,

Here is the album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVKlGkMHhb8
Is it the first song that starts with:

I went to an old camp meeting
I heard the preacher say
My friend you know you're lost in sin
So you better get down and pray

or is it another?

Let us know and we'll post the lyrics

Nancy

I went to an old camp meeting
I heard the preacher say
My friend you know you're lost in sin
So you better get down and pray
He told me the story of Jesus
from birth to Calvary
and I cried and I cried to the Lord

CHORUS:
Oh I cried and I cried to the Lord
I cried and I cried to the Lord
I was blind but now I see
but something got a hold on me
when I cried and I cried to the Lord

My thoughts turned away to my mother
and my dear old daddy too
the precious memories of my home
got to feeling oh so blue
I heard the folks all praying
just like we used to do
then I cried and I cried to the Lord

CHORUS

I went down to an alter
and fell upon my knees
I prayed Oh Lord forgive me
and set my soul at ease
then joy came overflowing
My soul had been released
that’s when i cried
oh how i cried to the lord

CHORUS
