Lord, I couldn’t hear nobody pray,
O Lord, I couldn’t hear nobody pray.
Oh, way down yonder by myself,
And I couldn’t hear nobody pray.
1 In the valley,
Couldn’t hear nobody pray,
On ma knees,
Couldn’t hear nobody pray,
Wid ma burden,
Couldn’t hear nobody pray,
An’ ma Savior.
Couldn’t hear nobody pray, O Lord, [Refrain]
2 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, [Refrain]
3 Hallelujah!
Couldn’t hear nobody pray,
Troubles over,
Couldn’t hear nobody pray,
In de kingdom,
Couldn’t hear nobody pray,
Wid ma Jesus,
Couldn’t hear nobody pray, O Lord, [Refrain] Topics: Negro Spirituals and Afro-American Liberation Songs Languages: English Tune Title: [In the valley]
