4    5 -5 6 6
There are so many
-6 -5 -4 -5   5    4
Memories of my childhood
-3    5     -4   4 -3
But there’s one that I
-4 5    -5   6    5
Treasure more than all
5 -5   6   -6
It was the time
-3 -3   5   -6   6 5
At the old camp meeting
6    6 -6 6 -5
That wonderful day
-4   5   -5 6   5
I heard Jesus call

Chorus:
5   5   -5 6   -6
Down the sawdust trail
-3 -3   5   -6   -6 6
At the old camp meeting
6    6   6 6     5
Where the sinner’s cry
6    6    6 -5
Rang with travail
6   6   7    6   5
How the fire did fall
6     6     6      -5     5 -3
When their prayer reached heaven
-3 -3   5   -6   6 4
At the old camp meeting
6   -6   6 -5     5
Down the sawdust trail

Verse 2:
I saw my dear old
Brokenhearted mother
On her knees with her
Head bowed low in prayer
It was for me
That she was praying
Praying that I
Would find Jesus there

(Chorus)
