28. Sin Is to Blame

1 Yonder a man in the prison dwells.
Sin is to blame; sin is to blame.
Sadly his story of woe he tells;
Sin is to blame for all.

Chorus:
Sin is to blame for all sorrow;
Sin is to blame for all woe.
Heartbreak and pain,
Hopes that are vain,
Sin is to blame, we know.

2 Here is a mother without a home.
Sin is to blame; sin is to blame.
Friendless, forsaken and all alone;
Sin is to blame for all. [Chorus]

3 Here there are children who cry for bread.
Sin is to blame; sin is to blame.
Father is drunk and mother dead;
Sin is to blame for all. [Chorus]

4 Living in sin in her gilded cell,
Sin is to blame; sin is to blame;
Some mother’s girl will her story tell,
Sin is to blame for all. [Chorus]
