"Hand Me Down My Bible" lyrics

"Hand Me Down My Bible"

O-oh Glory-o, now I'm the Lord's disciple
O-oh Glory-o, hand me down my bible

I like my liquor and my livin' hard
May the Lord save my soul
My salvation was the turn of a card
My heart was black as coal

Now everybody's got the right to go wrong
Everybody's got to sing my song
Everybody's got the right to go wrong
Sing my song, sing my song

O-oh Glory-o, now I'm the Lord's disciple
O-oh Glory-o, hand me down my bible

I don't give a damn for any man
As all the world can see
The time has come to make a stand
Won't you shine your light on me

Now come on people light your life begin
Come on now let the sun shine in
Come on people let your life begin
Let it in, let it in

O-oh Glory-o, now I'm the Lord's disciple
O-oh Glory-o, hand me down my bible

Well now I've been a wreck, I've been all at sea
But now I'm back on solid ground
I sank so low they gave up on me
Well, I was lost and now I'm found

But everybody's got the right to go wrong
Everybody's got to sing my song
Everybody's got the right to go wrong
Sing my song, sing my song

O-oh Glory-o, now I'm the Lord's disciple
O-oh Glory-o, hand me down my bible
O-oh Glory-o, now I'm the Lord's disciple
O-oh Glory-o, hand me down my bible

O-oh Glory-o, now I'm the Lord's disciple
O-oh Glory-o, hand me down my bible
O-oh Glory-o, now I'm the Lord's disciple
O-oh Glory-o, hand me down my bible
