Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen (Live)

Louis Armstrong · Other Songs - Louis Armstrong

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen

Nobody knows but Jesus

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen

Glory, Hallelujah



Sometimes I'm up, sometimes

I'm down, oh, yes Lord

Sometimes I'm almost

To the ground, oh yes, Lord



Nobody knows the trouble I've seen

Nobody knows but Jesus

Anybody knows the trouble I've seen

Glory, Hallelujah



If you got there before

I do, oh yes Lord

Tell all my friends, I'm

Coming too, oh yes Lord



Nobody knows the trouble I've seen

Nobody knows but Jesus

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen

Glory, Hallelujah



Although you see me

Goin' on so, oh yes

I have my trials, here below

Oh yes, Lord



Oh, nobody knows the trouble I've seen

Nobody knows but Jesus

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen

Glory, Hallelujah

Oh, glory, Hallelujah
