Dust on the Bible

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 word of bible verse, not a scripture do you know
 When it is the very truth and its contents good for you
 If dust is covered over it? s 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, if you have a friend you'd like to help along life's 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 way 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
