Chorus:

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

Chorus

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
