Family Bible Lyrics (Paul Buskirk - Claude Gray - Walt Breeland)
© '60 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI
There's a Fam'ly Bible on the table Each page is worn and hard to read
But the Fam'ly Bible on the table Will ever be my key to memories
At the end of day, when work was over When the evening meal was done
Dad would read to us from the Fam'ly Bible
And we'd count our many blessings, one by one
Refrain:
I can see us, sittin' round the table As from the Fam'ly Bible, Dad would read
And I can hear my Mother softly singing Rock of ages, rock of ages, cleft for me
Now this old world of ours is filled with trouble But this old world would also better be
If we'd find more bibles on the table
And mothers singing - Rock of ages, cleft for me
Refrain:Rock of ages, rock of ages, cleft for me
Spoken:
Hot chocolate - no, it's ok, if you use a... if you use a - hot spike, not - ha - ha - ha, if you use a PD-song, you know, a song that's in public domain - yeah - everybody does that, you know, take a tune that - ah, as when passed down for so many years, that nobody remembers who, or knows who wrote the original version. Like a... I wrote a song, called "Don't Take Your Guns to Town", that ah... ah, thank you. That ah... was a tune to ah... hold up... was a tune to an old Irish song, called "Clancy Lord, The Boom", do you remember that song - yeah, sure - "Clancy Lord, The Boom" - it's one of my favorite songs - ha - ha - ha - ha
