Nobody knows de trouble I've seen 

(American Negro Spiritual)

Harmonized and Arranged by  Harry Thacker Burleigh, 191? (1866-1949)

 

Nobody knows de trouble I've seen,
nobody knows but Jesus, (my sorrow)
Nobody knows de trouble I've seen,
Glory hallelujah !

Sometimes I'm up sometimes I'm down.
Oh yes, Lord !
Sometimes I'm almos' to de groun'; Oh yes, Lord !

Oh nobody knows de trouble I've seen,
Nobody knows but Jesus, (my sorrow)
Nobody knows de trouble I've seen,
Glory hallelujah !

If you get there before I do,
Oh yes, Lord !
Tell alla my friends I'm coming too,
Oh yes, Lord !

Nobody knows de trouble I've seen,
nobody knows but Jesus, (my sorrow)
Nobody knows de trouble I've seen,
Glory hallelujah !
