Little Mountain Church House Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

There's a little mountain church in my thoughts of yesterday 

Where friends and family gathered for the Lord 

Where an ol' fashioned preacher taught the straight and narrow way 

For what few coins the congregation could afford 

Dressed in all our Sunday best, we sat on pews of solid oak 

And I remember how our voices filled the air 

How Mama sounded like an angel on those high soprano notes 

And "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder I'll Be There" 

Looking back now that little mountain church house 

Has become my life's cornerstone 

It was there in that little mountain church house 

I first heard the words I based my life upon 

At the all day Sunday singing, with dinner on the ground 

Many were the souls that were revived 

While the brothers and the sisters who've gone on to Gloryland 

Slept in peace in the maple grove nearby
