You Can't Get Blood from a Turnip
Well the first man and woman was Adam Eve
Cain and Abel were their kids
Cain wasn't Abel's keeper, Abel never raised Cain
But his mom and daddy did
Soon Cain became a tiller of the ground
A shepherd of the sheep was Abel
And Abel he managed to please the Lord
But Cain just wasn't Abel
Now Abel brought a sacrifice to the Lord
Offered up a sweet smelling savor
Searched till he found the best lamb he had
That's why the Lord showed him favor
But Cain from his garden brought vegetables
As he watched Abel's offering burn up
Without a doubt old Cain found out
You can't get blood from a turnip
You can't get blood from a turnip
No matter how hard you try
Cause if you could then Jesus
Sure would not have bled and died
Now if you ever get salvation
You'll find you just can't earn it
So if you're able take Cain's advice
You can't get blood from a turnip
Well I hope you see salvation's free
And there's just one way to get it
The blood bought way of Calvary
And it took Jesus to shed it
Well you just can't work your way to heaven
And if you don't learn it
You'll find soon after you've bought the farm
You can't get blood from a turnip
You can't get blood from a turnip
No matter how hard you try
Cause if you could then Jesus
Sure would not have bled and died
Now if you ever get salvation
You'll find you just can't earn it
So if you're able take Cain's advice
You can't get blood from a turnip
So if you're able take Cain's advice
You can't get blood from a turnip
Cain and Abel were their kids
Cain wasn't Abel's keeper, Abel never raised Cain
But his mom and daddy did
Soon Cain became a tiller of the ground
A shepherd of the sheep was Abel
And Abel he managed to please the Lord
But Cain just wasn't Abel
Now Abel brought a sacrifice to the Lord
Offered up a sweet smelling savor
Searched till he found the best lamb he had
That's why the Lord showed him favor
But Cain from his garden brought vegetables
As he watched Abel's offering burn up
Without a doubt old Cain found out
You can't get blood from a turnip
You can't get blood from a turnip
No matter how hard you try
Cause if you could then Jesus
Sure would not have bled and died
Now if you ever get salvation
You'll find you just can't earn it
So if you're able take Cain's advice
You can't get blood from a turnip
Well I hope you see salvation's free
And there's just one way to get it

So if you're able take Cain's advice
You can't get blood from a turnip
So if you're able take Cain's advice
You can't get blood from a turnip
