The Dubliners - Hand Me Down Me Bible

Hand Me Down Me Bible

Introduction:
You know, it's a very surprising thing that, you know
People who not so long ago seem to be enemies
And now seemingly friends
And we'd like to dedicate this to our great friend
Mister or to Doctor, Sir Ian....
Ah, I won't, I won't complete the name, you know who he is
It's called, 'Hand me down me catechism'

Come on,
Oho, glorio now I am a Lord's disciple
Let's hear you sing it
Oho, glorio hand me down my bible

I like my liquor and my living part
May the Lord asve my soul
My salvation was the turn of the card
My heart is as black as coal
But everybody's got the right to go wrong
Everybody got's to sing my song
Everybody got's the right to go wrong
Sing my song, sing my song

Oho, glorio now I am a Lord's disciple
Can't hear you singing
Oho, glorio hand me down my bible

Oho, glorio now I am a Lord's disciple
Oho, glorio hand me down my bible

I don't give a damn for any man
As all the world can see
Time has come to make a song
O to shine your light on me
Come on people let your life begin
Come on now let the sunshine in
Come on people let your life begin
Let it in, let it in

Oho, glorio now I am a Lord's disciple
Oho, glorio hand me down my bible

Oho, glorio now I am a Lord's disciple
Everybody
Oho, glorio hand me down my bible

Oho, glorio now I am a Lord's disciple
Let's hear you singing
Oho, glorio hand me down my bible
