George Jones - Family Bible lyrics

rate me

[C] There's A Fam'ly [F] Bible on the [C] table

Each [Am] page is torn and [D] hard to [G7] read

But [C] The Fam'ly [F] Bible on the [C] table

Will [F] ever be my [C] key to [G] memo-[C] ries.

[C] At the close of [F] day when work was [C] over

And [Am] when the evening [D] meal was [G7] done

Dad would [C] read to us [F] from The Fam'ly [C] Bible

And we'd [F] count our many [C] blessings [G7] one by [C] one.

Refrain:

I can [F] see us [Bb] sittin' 'round the [F] table

When from The Fam'ly Bible Dad would [C] read

(1) I can hear my [F] mother softly [C] singing

(2) I can hear my [F] mama softly [C] singing

Rock of Ages, [F] Rock of [C] Ages [G7] cleft for [C] me.

This old world of ours is full of troubles

But this world would oh, so better be

If we'd find more Bibles on the table

And mothers singing Rock of Ages cleft for me.

Refrain:
