o lordy, trouble so hard
o lordy, trouble so hard
don't nobody know my troubles but God
don't nobody know my troubles but God
wrenched from my mother on the day was born
sold into slavery, freedom was torn
never again to be held in her arms
no love to comfort 'n' keep me from harm
o lordy, trouble so hard
o lordy, trouble so hard
don't nobody know my troubles but God
don't nobody know my troubles but God
sunup to sundown working the fields
scarred with the whip that the massa wields
look at ya feet, never look in his eyes
u betta watch how ya speak, those are words for wise
o lordy, trouble so hard
o lordy, trouble so hard
don't nobody know my troubles but God
don't nobody know my troubles but God
so many times tried runnin away
but the devil wouldn't let me go too far astray
straight out of hell came the howl of the hounds
eyes rainin with tears, enchained in bounds
o lordy, trouble so hard
o lordy, trouble so hard
don't nobody know my troubles but God
don't nobody know my troubles but God
seen alot of wretch, alot of people gone
alot of trouble in my life, eighty years on
many stories in my head, tired-achy bones
carrying this body's like carrying stones
swing low sweet chariot, coming for me
take me up to heaven where my soul can be free
last breath I've drawn, in the ground I lay
have mercy lord jesus cause i'm on my way
o lordy, trouble so hard
o lordy, trouble so hard
don't nobody know my troubles but God
don't nobody know my troubles but God
o lordy, troubled so hard
o lordy, troubled so hard
don't nobody know my troubles but God
don't nobody know my troubles but God
