Lyrics
An’ I couldn’t hear nobody pray
An’ I couldn’t hear nobody pray
O ‘way down yonder by myself
An’ I couldn’t hear nobody pray, in de valley!
I couldn’t hear nobody pray, on my knees!
I couldn’t hear nobody pray, with my burden!
I couldn’t hear nobody pray, an’ my Saviour!
I couldn’t hear nobody pray, O Lord!
I couldn’t hear nobody pray (Pray O Lord)
Couldn’t hear nobody pray
O ‘way down yonder by myself
I couldn’t hear nobody pray, chilly waters!
Couldn’t hear nobody pray, in de Jerdon!
Couldn’t hear nobody pray, crossin’ over!
Couldn’t hear nobody pray, into Canaan!
Couldn’t hear nobody pray, O Lord!
Couldn’t hear nobody pray (Pray O Lord)
Couldn’t hear nobody pray
O ‘way down yonder by myself
I couldn’t hear nobody pray
