Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
Refrain
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen,
Nobody knows my sorrow,
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Glory hallelujah.
1. Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down,
Oh yes, Lord,
Sometimes I’m almost to the ground,
Oh yes Lord. Refrain
2. Oh don’t you see me going to slow,
Oh yes Lord.
I have my troubles here below.
Oh yes Lord. Refrain
