Nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read, my soul would be lost
Nobody's fault but mine
My sister she taught me how to read
Sister she taught me how to read
If I don't read, my soul would be lost
Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read, my soul would be lost
And nobody's fault but mine
Now I got a bible in my house
I got a bible in my house
If I don't read, my soul would be lost
Nobody's fault but mine
Sister, she taught me how to read
Sister, she taught me how to read
If I don't read, my soul would be lost
Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read, my soul would be lost
Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read, my soul would be lost
Nobody's fault but mine
