The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#614

614. Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen

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 groun',
Oh, yes, Lord! [Refrain]

2 Altho' 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]
