If I could sing... Nobody's Fault but mine

Time for something loud. I'm in a loud rock mood this week. Todays song was originally by Blind Willie Jackson, got hijacked by Led Zepplin then perfected by The 77's.

The song is from the 77's album "drowning with Land in sight" and if it is currently unavailable at the 77's web site so try ebay.

So why have I picked this one today? Because I've been living too much in my fantasy world and as an answer to my prayer have had a shock to get me out of it, the pain I'm feeling - nobody's fault but mine...

Here is a youtube of them live - not the best audio but you get the swing of things. - following that the lyrics.



Nobody's Fault But Mine
from the album "Drowning With Land In Sight"

(Jimmy Page/Robert Plant - apologies to Blind Willie Johnson)


Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
if I don't keep my soul alive
it's nobody's fault but mine

The devil he taught me to roll
The devil he taught me to roll
how to roll that invisible line
well, it's nobody's fault but mine

I've got a bible in my house
I've got a bible in my house
if I don't read it, my soul dies
well, it's nobody's fault but mine

My sister she taught me to read
My sister she taught me to read
I didn't read it, lost my life
it's nobody's fault but mine

If I don't read my soul to life
well - nobody's fault but mine
