There's an awful pretty song Cedric Don Jerry myself dust on the Bible, let's go I went into a home one day to see some friends of mine Of all their books and magazines not a Bible could I find I asked them for the Bible When they brought it what a shame all the dust was covered or it not a fingerprint was plain The stone Bible the stone the Holy Word the words of all the prophets and the sins of our Lord Of all the other books you'll find heaven on salvation home get the dust off the Bible and redeem your first soul Oh, you can read your magazines of love and tragic things But not one word of Bible verse not a scripture. Do you know? When it is the very truth and its contents good for you But if dust is covered or red, it's sure to doom your soul The stone the Bible the stone the Holy Word the words of all the prophets and the sins of our Lord Of all the other books you'll find heaven on salvation home Get the dust off the Bible and redeem your first soul Oh if you have a friend you'd like to have a long life's way Just tell him that the good book showed a mortal how to pray The best advice to give him that will make his burdens light Is to dust the family Bible trade the wrong way for the right? The stone the Bible the stone the Holy Word the words of all the prophets and the sins of our Lord Of all the other books you'll find there none salvation home Get the dust off the Bible and redeem your first soul
