Píseň: Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Night Beat
Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
 Nobody knows my sorrow
 Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
 Glory hallelujiah


 Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
 Nobody knows my, my sorrow
 Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
 Glory hall- glory hallelujiah


 Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down
 Oh, yes lord
 You know sometimes almost to the ground
 Oh, oh yes lord


 Still, nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
 Nobody, nobody knows my, my sorrow
 Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
 Glory hallelujiah


 If you get there before I do
 Oh, oh yes lord
 Don't forget to tell all my friends I'm comin' too
 Whoa, oh yes lord


 Still, nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
 Nobody knows my sorrow
 Nobody knows the trouble that I've seen
 Glory hall- hallelujiah
