1 See yonder man in the prison he dwells;
Sin is to blame, sim is to blame,
List to the story he plaintively tells,
Sin is to blame for all.
Chorus:
Sin is to blame for all sorrow,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
Have you not hopes for tomorrow?
Sin is to blame for it all.
2 Many dear children are crying for bread,
Sin is to blame, sim is to blame,
Father's a drunkard and mother is dead
Sin is to blame for all. [Chorus]
3 Heartbroken mothers all sad and alone,
Sin is to blame, sim is to blame,
Helpless and needy no place to call home,
Sin is to blame for all. [Chorus]
4 Thousands refuse to accept His free grace,
Sin is to blame, sim is to blame,
All who reject Him have chosen their place,
Sin is to blame for all. [Chorus]
