Nobody knows de trouble I've had,

Nobody knows but Jesus,

Nobody knows de trouble I've had,

(Sing) Glory hallelu!

1. One morning I was a-walking down, O yes, Lord!I saw some berries a-hanging down, O yes, Lord!

2. I pick de berry and I suck de juice, O yes, Lord!Just as sweet as the honey in de comb, O yes, Lord!

3. Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down,

Sometimes I'm almost on de groun'.

4. What make ole Satan hate me so?

Because he got me once and he let me go.
