Refrain:
Nobody knows the trouble I see,
Nobody knows my sorrow;
Nobody knows the trouble I see,
Glory, hallelujah!
1 Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down,
Oh, yes, Lord!
Sometimes I’m almost to the groun',
Oh, yes, Lord! [Refrain]
2 Although you see me going ’long so,
Oh, yes, Lord!
I have my troubles here below,
Oh, yes, Lord! [Refrain]
3 What makes old Satan hate me so?
Oh, yes, Lord!
'Cause he got me once and let me go,
Oh, yes, Lord! [Refrain]
