Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;
Glory, Hallelujah!

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down;
Oh, yes, Lord
Sometimes I'm almost to the groun'
Oh, yes, Lord

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;

I wish that I could find a way;
Oh, yes, Lord
But life is just one long, rainy day;
Oh, yes, Lord

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;
Glory, Hallelujah!
