Ami

Oh lordy, trouble so hard

oh lordy, trouble so hard,

don't nobody know my troubles but God

Dmi

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

Ami

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
