1: I went down to camp meeting the other afternoon,
For to hear them shout and sing
And tell each other how they love one another
And make "Hallelujah" ring.
2: There was old Uncle Daniel and his brother, Ebenezer,
Uncle Rufus and his lame gal, Sue,
Aunt Polly and Melinda and Old Mother Bender.
Well, you never saw a happier crew.

Oh little children, I believe!
Oh little children, Ibelieve!
Oh little children, I believe!
I'm a Methodist 'til I die!
I'm a Methodist, Methodist!
'Tis my belief. I'm a Methodist'til die!
Tiil old grim Death comes a- knocking at the door, I'm a Methodist 'til I die!
3: Well, they all go there for to have a big time
And to eat up that grub on the sly,
Have applesauce butter with sugar in the gourd
And a great big Methodist pie!
4: You ought to hear the ringing when they all go to singing
That "Good Old Bye-and-Bye"!
There's Jimmy McGee in the top of a tree
Shouting "How's this for high?"
Ref:
5: Well, they all join hands and they march around a ring.
And keep a-singing all the while.
You'd think it was a cyclone coming through the air.
You can hear them 'bout half a mile!
6: Then the bell rings loud and that whole big crowd
Breaks ranks and up they fly,
While I take aboard the sugar in the gourd
And I finish off the Methodist pie.
