Family Bible Lyrics - Django And Jimmie - Merle Haggard

There's a family Bible on the table 

Each page is torn and hard to read 

But the family Bible on the table 

Will ever be my key to memories 

At the end of day when work was over 

And when the evening meal was done 

Dad would read to us from the family Bible 

And we'd count our many blessings, one by one 

I can see us sitting round the table 

When from the family Bible dad would read 

I can hear my mother softly singing 

Rock of ages 

Rock of ages cleft for me 

Now this old world 

Of ours is full of trouble 

And this old world would also better be 

If we'd found more Bibles on the tables 

And mothers singing rock of ages, cleft for me 

I can see us sitting round the table 

When from the family Bible dad would read 

I can hear my mother softly singing 

Rock of ages 

Rock of ages cleft for me
