Trouble Done Bore Me Down

---

O Lord, O Lord
What shall I do?
Trouble done bore me down
O Lord, O Lord
What shall I do?
Trouble done bore me down

He's gone on high to prepare a place
Trouble done bore me down
For to prepare a place for me and you
Trouble done bore me down

O Lord, O Lord
Have mercy on me
Trouble done bore me down
O Lord, O Lord
Have mercy on me
Trouble done bore me down

I've seen some strangers quite unknown
I'm a child of misery
I'm sometimes up and sometimes down
I'm sometimes level with the ground

O Lord, O Lord
What shall I do,
I asked God Almighty
for to run me 'round
O Lord, O Lord
What shall I do
