[00:00.00]An Old Convention Song - The Cathedrals/George Younce
[00:09.92]We used to come from miles around
[00:11.15]Have dinner on the ground
[00:12.59]Underneath those old shade trees
[00:15.31]And sing the old songs in shaped notes
[00:17.97]In four part harmony
[00:21.96]Like he set me free
[00:23.41]And he'll pilot me
[00:24.68]Any anywhere is home
[00:27.21]How long has it been since you heard
[00:30.19]An old convention song
[00:32.67]I still I still love to hear love to hear
[00:35.40]Those old convention songs
[00:38.06]That I heard that I heard
[00:39.38]As a child just a little child
[00:40.69]As we sing them all day long
[00:43.22]Like I'm gonna walk
[00:44.71]And just a little talk
[00:45.95]And all the day long
[00:48.82]How long has it been since
[00:51.08]You heard an old convention song
[01:03.47]Gospel songs today have a lot to say
[01:06.00]They lift you up
[01:06.98]When you're feeling down
[01:09.01]Some have a country flavor
[01:11.68]Some have a modern sound
[01:14.09]They all serve a need of planting seeds
[01:16.43]So I know they can't go wrong
[01:19.30]But there is none so dear as when I hear
[01:22.30]An old convention song
[01:24.72]I still I still love to hear love to hear
[01:27.53]Those old convention songs
[01:30.01]That I heard that I heard
[01:31.55]As a child just a little child
[01:32.79]As we sing them all day long
[01:35.38]Like I'm gonna walk
[01:36.76]And just a little talk
[01:37.96]And all the day long
[01:40.92]How long has it been since
[01:43.35]You heard an old convention song
[01:46.32]How long has it been
[01:48.75]Since you heard
[01:49.82]After awhile
[01:51.57]How long since you heard
[01:54.45]Give the world a smile
[01:57.25]How long since you heard
[01:59.56]I'm winging my way back home
[02:02.43]How long has it been since
[02:04.92]You heard an old convention song
[02:07.80]How long has it been since
[02:10.19]You heard an old convention song
