Chorus:
And I couldn't hear nobody pray; (O Lord!)
And I couldn't hear nobody pray,
O way down yonder by myself
And I couldn't hear nobody pray.
1 In the valley!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray,
On my knees!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray.
With my burden!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray,
And my Saviour!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray.
O Lord! [Refrain]
2 Chilly waters!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray,
In the Jordan!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray,
Crossing over!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray,
Into Canaan!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray.
O Lord! [Refrain]
3 Hallelujah!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray,
Troubles over!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray,
In the kingdom!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray,
With my Jesus!
A-couldn't hear nobody pray.
o Lord! [Refrain]
