There's A Fam'ly Bible on the table
Am D G7
Each page is torn and hard to read
C F C
But The Fam'ly Bible on the table
F C G C
Will ever be my key to memories.
C F C
At the close of day when work was over
Am D G7
And when the evening meal was done
C F C
Dad would read to us from The Fam'ly Bible
F C G7 C
And we'd count our many blessings one by one.
Refrain:
F Bb F
I can see us sittin' 'round the table

When from The Fam'ly Bible Dad would read
F C
(1) I can hear my mother softly singing
F C
(2) I can hear my mama softly singing
F C G7 C
Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for 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:
