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

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 o'er it

Not a fingerprint 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

You can read your magazines

Read of love and tragic things

And not one verse of Christian

Not one verse do you know

When it is the very truth

And its contents good for you

Dust on the bible will doom your poor 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
