Lyrics

DUST ON THE BIBLE
Recorded by Hank Williams Sr. written by Johnny and Walter Bailes
 
C
I went into a home one day to see some friends of mine
                                     D7            G7
Of all the books and magazines not a Bible could I find 
  C
I asked them for the Bible when they brought it what a shame
                                       G7               C
For the dust was covered over it not a finger-print was plain
 
                                          
Dust on the Bible dust on the holy word
                                      D7             G7
The words of all the prophets and the sayings of our Lord 
   C
Of all the other books you'll find there's none salvation holds
                                 G7              C
Get that dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul 
 
 
You can read your magazines of love and tragic things  
                                      D7               G7
But not one word of bible verse not a scripture do you know
     C
When it is the very truth and its contents good for you
                                    G7              C
But if dust is covered over it will surly doom your soul
 
Repeat #2
   
Oh if you have a friend you'd like to help along life's way
                                         D7            G7
Just tell him that the Good Book shows a mortal how to pray
    C
The best advice to give him that will make his burden light
                                      G7                C
Is to dust the family Bible trade the wrong way for the right
