The Old Account - Johnny Cash

　　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)

　　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

　　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)

　　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

　　Long ago
