Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen
www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1O4cSltSRo
This is version of the spiritual without instruments. It is professionally done, in comparison with the way slaves may have sung. The song is about the suffering a fellow slave has seen and the pain inflicted on their peers. The last line states "I have my trials here below" which references the hard life of slaves in the South.
