Oh, lordy, troubles so hard
Oh, lordy, troubles 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 got happy and stayed all day
Went down the hill, the other day
My soul got happy and stayed all day

Oh, lordy, troubles so hard
Oh, lordy, troubles so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but god
Don't nobody know my troubles but god

Went in the room, didn't stay long
Looked on the bed and brother was dead
Went in the room, didn't stay long
Looked on the bed and brother was dead

Oh, lordy, troubles so hard
Oh, lordy, troubles so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but god
Don't nobody know my troubles but god (5x)
