Tryin’ to raise my soul to light

Ah, have a bible in my home

Tryin’ to raise my soul to light

.. taught me how to read

Tryin’ to raise my soul to light
Nobody’s fault but mine.

Oh Lord, nobody’s fault but mine
Tryin’ to raise my soul to light
Ah have a bible in my home

Tryin’ to raise my soul to light
Oh, buddy she taught me how to read
Buddy she taught me how to read
Tryin’ to raise my soul to light.

Ah, Lord, Lord, nobody’s fault but mine
Bible and my soul tonight
And sister she taught me how to read
Sister she taught me how to read
Bible and my soul tonight.

Ah, no, no, nobody’s fault but mine.

Got a bible in my home

Sister she taught me to roll
My sister she taught me to roll

Take it on, take it on

I got a monkey on my back
I gotta monkey on my back, back, back

Nobody’s fault but mine – yeah

Nobody’s fault but mine
I’ll raise my soul to the light
Nobody’s fault but mine
Whoo!
