I remember the name and some of the words my mom used to sing it to me when I was very young 50 years ago. It was called Dust on the Bible.

Dust On The Bible



I went to 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
For the dust was covered o'er it not a finger print was plain

Dust on the Bible dust on the Holy Word
The words of all our 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 your soul

You can read your magazines read of love and tragfic 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 o'er it it is sure to doom your soul

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 crade the wrong way for the right

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.

Chorus
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, you can read your magazines 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 it's contents good for you.
Dust on the Bible will doom your poor soul.

Chorus
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.

I went to a home one day
See some friends of mine
Of all th books an' magizines
Not a Bible could I find
I ask them for th Bible
When they brought it was a shame
Th dust that cover over h'it
My fingerprint was plain

VERSE 2
