Artist/Band: Kitty Wells
Lyrics for Song: Dust on the Bible
Lyrics for Album: Sings Her Gospel Hits: Dust on the Bible [King Rec [2004]



(Johnnie Bailes - Walter Bailes)



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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
