I went out and got married
Thought I'd live a happy life
But before I could settle down
Another man had stole my wife
Well, sound the bell, yes, I feel so sad
Nobody knows the troubles I had, no
If you see my woman
Won't you tell her from me
That you left me crying
And my heart's in misery
Well, sound the bell and I feel so sad
Nobody knows the troubles I had
You may think I'm crazy
But I'll never love again
I'm going back home to my mama
'Cause she's my only friend
Sound the bell, Lord, I feel so sad
Nobody knows the troubles I had, no
Nobody knows the troubles I had
Nobody knows the troubles I had
