Nobody's fault but mine, nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read it my soul be lost

I have a Bible in my home, I have a Bible in my home
If I don't read it my soul be lost

Mmm, Father he taught me how to read, Father he taught me how to read
If I don't read it my soul be lost, nobody's fault but mine

Ah, Lord, Lord, nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read it my soul be lost

Ah, I have a Bible of my own, I have a Bible of my own
If I don't read it my soul be lost

Oh, Mother she taught me how to read, Mother she taught me how to read
If I don't read it my soul be lost, nobody's fault but mine

Ah, Lord, Lord, nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read it my soul be lost

And Sister she taught me how to read, Sister she taught me how to read
If I don't read it my soul be lost, nobody's fault but mine

Ah, mmmm, Lord, Lord, nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read it my soul'd be lost, mmmm
