Il testo della Dust on the bible

I went into a home one day just 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
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 the dust off the bible and redeem your poor 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 it's contents good for you
But it's dust is covered o'er it
And it's sure to doom your poor soul

Dust on the bible, dust on the holy word
The word of all the prophets, and the sayings of our lord.
Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holds
Get the 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 burdens light
Is to dust the family bible trades the wrong way for the right

Dust on the bible, dust on the holy word
The word of all the prophets, and the sayings of our lord
Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holds
Get the dust off the bible and redeem your poor soul
