Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God

Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God

Went down the hill
The other day
My soul was happy
And stayed all day

Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Went down the hill
The other day
My soul was happy
And stayed all day

But went in the room
Didn't stay long
Looked on the bed
And brother was dead

Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God

Oh lord!

Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Oh lordy now
Trouble so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
