(C) There's a little mountain church in my thoughts of yester-(F)-day
Where (C) friends and family gathered for the (G) Lord
Where an (C) ol' fashioned preacher taught the straight and narrow (F) way
For what few (C) coins the congre-(G)-gation could af-(C)-ford

Dressed in all our Sunday best, we sat on pews of solid (F) oak
and I re-(C)-member how our voices filled the (G) air
How Mama (C) sounded like an angel on those high soprano (F) notes
When the (C) roll is called up (G) yonder I'll be (C) there"

Looking back now that little mountain (F) church house

While the (C) bothers and the sisters who've gone on to Glory-(F)-land
Slept in (C) peace in the (G) maple grove near-(C)-by

Looking back now that little mountain (F) church house
Has be-(C)-come my life's corner-(G)-stone
It was (C) there in that little mountain (F) church house
I first (C) heard the words I (G) based my life u-(C)-pon
