What are the different ways to say "It wasn't me!" in Spanish? Would this make sense "No fue yo"?

No fue mi culpa = It wasn't my fault (culpa = fault )
(Edited Correction from la culpa no fue mio)
I am assuming from the way you worded your request above that you were meaning It wasn't me = it wasn't my fault and not meaning it is not mine: no es mío = it doesn't belong to me

Actually, the correct English would be "It wasn't I."

The funny thing about this is, in English, you are saying IT(the subject, the event), was NOT me, but then in Spanish one ironically makes oneself the subject, and uses the appropriate verb. I wanted to say "no fue yo", but I guess it's just different. Of course one can also say "no lo hice".
