Hank Williams Dust On The Bible Lyrics

Dust On The Bible Lyrics

Well, I went into a home one day to see some friends of mine

Of all the books and magazines, not a bible could I find

I asked them for the bible when they brought it, what a shame

For the dust was covered over it, not a finger-print was plain



Dust on the bible, dust on the holy word

The words of all the prophets and the sayings of our Lord

Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holds

Get that dust off the bible and redeem your poor soul



Oh, you can read your magazines of love and tragic things

Not one word of bible verse, not a scripture do you know

But it is the very truth and its contents good for you

But if dust is covered over it is sure to doom your soul



Dust on the bible, dust on the holy word

The words of all the prophets and the sayings of our Lord

Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holds

Get that dust off the bible and redeem your poor soul



Oh, you have a friend you'd like to help along the way

Just tell him that the good book shows a mortal how to pray

The best advice to give him that will make his burden light

Is to dust the family bible, trade the wrong for the right



Dust on the bible, dust on the holy word

The words of all the prophets and the sayings of our Lord

Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holds

Get that dust off the bible and redeem your poor soul
