Verse 1:
GC/G
There's an old familiar hillside overlooking Emhouse,Texas
GD
Where i left some childhood memories layin' round
GC/G
I can almost hear the singing,i can still remember praying
GDG
At them old campground meetings eatin' chicken on the ground
Chorus:
GDG
With them hallelujahs ringin',everybody shoutin',singin'
D
Give me that old time religion,Jesus loves me,this i know
GC/G
When life was finger-lickin' good and God lived in our neighborhood
GDC/G
At them old campground meetin's eatin' chicken on the ground
Verse 2:
GC/G
I can still remember feelin' all that happiness inside me
GD
When i praised the Lord and laid my burdens down
GC/G
But that chicken must have tasted better than the word of God
GDG
'Cause it went slippin' through my fingers and rollin' on the ground
Chorus.
Verse 3:
GC/G
I reckon everyone of us can call back or remember
GD
When the taste and smell of youth was all around

And i reckon in our own way everyone of us is payin' now
GDG
For eatin' chicken and not listenin' to old Parson Brown
Chorus (x3).
