Little Black Bible

Jim Evans & Tim Wheeler

VERSE 1

THERE’S A LITTLE BLACK BIBLE ON MY KITCHEN TABLE

ON THE FIRST PAGE IS WRITTEN, “MAMA LOVES YOU”

GIVEN TO ME ON THE DAY I GOT MARRIED

PASSED DOWN TO MAMA BY HER MAMA, TOO

VERSE 2

ONE OF THE FONDEST OF ALL OF MY MEM’RIES

WAS LYIN’ IN BED AS I FELL IN TO SLEEP

TO THE SWEET, GENTLE SOUNDS OF THE VOICE OF MY MAMA

READIN’ THAT LITTLE BLACK BIBLE TO ME

CHORUS

BOUND IN OLD LEATHER, WEATHERED AND STAINED

TATTERED BY HEARTACHE AND TEARS

THAT LITTLE BLACK BIBLE HAS SHOWN US THE WAY

FOR WELL OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS

VERSE 3

ALL THE WISDOM OF AGES IS LOST ON THE YEARLING

AND I CHOSE TO WANDER TOO FAR FROM THE FOLD

DRAWN BY THE GLEAM OF THE WORLD AND ITS TREASURES

SEEKING MY PLEASURES IN WHISKEY (SILVER) AND GOLD

VERSE 4

WHEN ALL THAT WAS TEMPTING HAD LEFT MY HEART EMPTY

AND I FOUND MYSELF / SO LOST AND ALONE

IT WAS MAMA I HEARD AND THOSE SWEET BIBLE WORDS

HELPED ME TO FIND MY WAY HOME

CHORUS (2X)

THAT LITTLE BLACK BIBLE HAS SHOWN US THE WAY

FOR WELL OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS

TAG VERSE

THERE’S A LITTLE BLACK BIBLE ON MY KITCHEN TABLE

ON THE FIRST PAGE IS WRITTEN “MAMA LOVES YOU”

I’LL GIVE IT AWAY WHEN MY DAUGHTER GETS MARRIED

I PRAY THAT SHE’S GIVES IT TO HER DAUGHTER, TOO.
