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
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
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
Help
Umm-mmm
Lord, Lord
Nobody's fault but mine
If I don't read my soul-a be lost
Umm-mmm
About the author
The builder of this site's blues & folk tabs is blah148; an enthusiast of these going-the-way-of-the-dodo styles of music. This manner of (at least shooting for) note-for-note tablature, or notation, is part of the endeavor of 'transcribing'. Part of the reason for this library of transcriptions is the feeble hope of blah148 that the sound of these recordings will start to rub off, maybe by the 111th or 327th one; in some ways, the number is like a measure of desperation and clawing. It's a way that is recommended to others, though may not necessarily replace hearing these sounds up close & in-person. Here is a sample recording, trying to amalgamate some of these learnings.
