BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON :

Hey-ey!
Nobody's fault-a but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read, my soul be lost

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

Hmm-mm
Bible, taught me how to read
Bible, taught me how to read
If I don't read my soul be lost
Nobody's fault-a but mine

(short guitar solo)

<phone rings in background>

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

I, was talkin' to my Lord
Have a Bible in my arms
If I don't read my soul be lost

Oh-ooh
Mother, she taught me how to read
Mother, she taught me how to read
If I don't read my soul be lost
Nobody's fault-a but mine

(Guitar solo)

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

And said that she taught me how to read
Said that she taught me how to read
If I don't read my soul be lost
Nobody's fault-a but mine





(Guitar solo by Blind Willie)

Help

Umm-mmm

Lord, Lord

Nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read my soul-a be lost

Umm-mmm

(guitar solo to end)

Nobody's fault but mine
It's nobody's fault but mine
Try to save my soul tonight
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

Devil he told me to roll
Devil he told me to roll roll roll roll
How to roll the log tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

Brother he showed me the gong
Brother he showed me the ding dong ding dong
How to kick that gong to life
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

Got a monkey on my back
M-M-Monkey on my back back back back
Gonna change my ways tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

I will get down rollin' tonight
N-N-N-Nobody's fault.
