I ain't got nobody to help me when I'm I'll I ain't got nobody to walk me up this hill If I had a secret that you could understand Maybe I wouldn't be such a downtrodden man Heavy handed work Steadily been keeping me down Heavy handed world Don't want me around I ain't got nobody, to help me down this road I ain't got nobody, to tell me which way to go If I had a secret that you could understand Maybe I wouldn't be such a downtrodden man Heavy handed work Steadily been keeping me down Heavy handed world, Don't want me around I do believe that if I had wings That I'd still be lonesome Though I fly the river high, fly that river high Never sold a lie I ain't got nobody, to help me down this road I ain't got nobody, to tell me which way to go If I had a secret that you could understand Maybe I wouldn't be such a downtrodden man
