What's wrong with the Old Black Book my daddy use to read from?
Is it so outdated by modern translation?
Revised Standard and Good News everywhere I look
Won't somebody tell me what's wrong with the old black book?

People who know not my God just can't understand
the spiritual inspired word I've got not by some man
They've all agreed by joining hands in a world wide movement
to take that blessed old black book they've set out to improve it

Jesus said I am the Shepard my sheep follow me
as voices of the stranger speaks they shall turn and flee
The Word my daddy used to read I've learned to love so dear
but all these other words I've heard are strangers to my ear

The enemy is much too smart to jump right up and say
Forget all you have learned of God it's not true anyway
They're making plans in years to come to take God from our minds
by giving us new Bibles changed a little bit each time
