oh lordy, trouble so hard
oh lordy, trouble so hard,
don't nobody know my troubles but God
don't nobody know my troubles but God
went down the hill, the other day
my soul got happy and stayed all day
went down the hill, the other day
my soul got happy and stayed all day
went in the room, didn't stay long,
looked on the bed and brother was dead
went in the room, didn't stay long,
looked on the bed and brother was dead
