Nobody knows, oh! Sometimes I'm down Sometimes I'm up Oh my Lord! Oh yes my Lord! Nobody knows the trouble I seen Nobody knows like my Jesus, Oh, Lord! Oh, my Lord! Oh yes my Lord! Oh, yes, nobody knows like Him, the troubles I have seen oh, my Lord! Sometimes I'm looking down sometimes I'm looking up. Nobody knows like Him The trouble I have seen Glory halleluia! Although you see me goin' along I have my pain down below Nobody knows my trouble Nobody but my Lord.
Ebony Fantasies
