An I couldn't hear nobody pray.
Oh Lord!
Couldn't hear nobody pray,
Oh-way down yonder
By myself,
I couldn't hear nobody pray.
In the valley
Couldn't hear nobody pray,
On my knees,
Couldn't hear nobody pray,
With my burden,
Couldn't hear nobody pray,
And my Saviour,
Couldn't hear nobody pray.
Oh Lord!
An I couldn't hear nobody pray.
Oh Lord!
Couldn't hear nobody pray,
Oh-way down yonder
By myself,
I couldn't hear nobody pray.
Chilly waters,
Couldn't hear nobody pray,
In the Jordan,
Couldn't hear nobody pray,
Crossing over,
Couldn't hear nobody pray,
Into Canaan,
Couldn't hear nobody pray.
Oh Lord!
An I couldn't hear nobody pray.
Oh Lord!
Couldn't hear nobody pray,
Oh-way down yonder
By myself,
I couldn't hear nobody pray.
