91. There's a Meeting Here Tonight

Get you ready, there's a meeting here tonight,
Come along, there's a meeting here tonight;
I know you by your daily walk.
There's a meeting here tonight.

1 Camp-meeting down in the wilderness,
There's a meeting here tonight;
I know it's among the Methodes',
There's a meeting here tonight. [Refrain]

2 My father says it is the bes',
There's a meeting here tonight;
To live an' die a Methodes',
There's a meeting here tonight. [Refrain]

3 There's fire in the eas', there's fire in the wes',
There's a meeting here tonight;
I know it's among the Methodes',
There's a meeting here tonight. [Refrain]
