Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
 Nobody knows but Jesus*
 Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
 Glory hallelujah!
 Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
 Oh, yes, Lord
 Sometimes I'm almost to the ground
 Oh, yes, Lord
 Although you see me going 'long so
 Oh, yes, Lord
 I have my trials here below
 Oh, yes, Lord
 If you get there before I do
 Oh, yes, Lord
 Tell all-a my friends I'm coming too
 Oh, yes, Lord
