| Well it was a time on earth when in the books of heaven | |
| An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven | |
| My name was at the top and many things below | |
| But I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago | |
| Long ago （down on my knees） long ago （I settled it all） | |
| Yes the old account was settled long ago （hallelujah） | |
| And the record's clear today cause he washed my sins away | |
| And the old account was settled long ago | |
| Well the old account was large and growin' every day | |
| And I was always sinnin' and I never tried to pray | |
| But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe | |
| Well I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago | |
| Long ago （down on my knees）... | |
| [ guitar ] | |
| Now sinner seek the Lord repent of all your sins | |
| Cause this he has commanded if you would enter in | |
| And then if you should live a hundred years below | |
| Well you know you got it settled cause you settled it long ago | |
| Long ago （down on my knees）... |
| Well it was a time on earth when in the books of heaven | |
| An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven | |
| My name was at the top and many things below | |
| But I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago | |
| Long ago down on my knees long ago I settled it all | |
| Yes the old account was settled long ago hallelujah | |
| And the record' s clear today cause he washed my sins away | |
| And the old account was settled long ago | |
| Well the old account was large and growin' every day | |
| And I was always sinnin' and I never tried to pray | |
| But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe | |
| Well I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago | |
| Long ago down on my knees... | |

| Now sinner seek the Lord repent of all your sins | |

| And then if you should live a hundred years below | |
| Well you know you got it settled cause you settled it long ago | |
| Long ago down on my knees... |
| Well it was a time on earth when in the books of heaven | |
| An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven | |
| My name was at the top and many things below | |
| But I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago | |
