Lyrics A Bible and a Belt

They were both made of leather

Both black and frayed and worn

I was brought up to respect them since the day that I was born

One came here from England

It's been handed down for years

The other one was ordered from a catalog at Sears

One my mamma read to me 'till I was well into my teens

And I thought all the other one was for was to hold up daddy's jeans

'Till I told a lie and learned it had another purpose too

Out behind the shed my daddy said

This'll hurt me more than you

'Cos one had my daddy's name on it the other said King James

With love they taught us lessons but we feared them both the same

One led us to heaven and the other left a welt

Those were the days when kids were raised with a bible and a belt

I remember when I was twelve

I stole a dime store comic book

And how Mamma read where the scriptures said to take back what I took

When I refused my daddy grabbed my arm and said Come on

I needed more he knew than just Matthew

Mark, Luke and John

Well sometimes they made me cry

Sometimes they made me fightin' mad

And I'd wish I'd been raised without them like some other children had

But now I'm grown with kids of my own and I know just how they felt

You know it seems to me what the world still needs is a bible and a belt

'Cos one had my daddy's name on it the other said King James

With love they taught us lessons but we feared them both the same

One led us to heaven and the other hurt like hell

Those were the days when kids were raised with a bible and a belt

A bible and a belt
