Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

I don't know what you mean. But anyway whatever. Remember I still a die hard fan. I'm just disappointed with the way the whole situation is panning out.

They're just Pink Floyd lyrics papabear. I guess describing the troubles of being a Knicks fan and how the team always digs itself into holes

After the game Woody will be singing that old folk country song. (nobody knows the trouble I've seen. No body knows , nobody. LOL it will be a blood bath tonight and Shump will be trying to throw the game every chance he gets. Plenty of airballs and plenty of bricks.

This song, expresses only the pain suffered by the slaves, while, of course, offering hope to them through fervent Christian belief. Its melody is nostalgic in its moderately paced, old-South character. It features the kind of lyricism heard in many Stephen Foster songs and, curiously, sounds like an early version of the popular American folk song "Hang Down Your Head, Tom Dooley."

The secondary material in "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" takes on a somewhat more glorious, less rhythmically jaunty manner while still conveying that sense of nostalgic warmth. Like "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," this is a classic spiritual.

Mister Earl are you gonna challenge me about old folk songs?? Man you are out of your fu(4in league. All of those songs were owned and controlled by none men of color even though blacks sung them and wrote some of them. They never made a dime. And you must have gotten the hell out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. I taught black music history and have a masters degree in music arranging and conducting. A winner of billboards awards , record world awards, nominated for a soul train award and nominated two times for a stellar award 30 hit songs which I own all rights and copy rights. I of all people know about my people struggles and for me to use the words no body knows the struggle I've seen was in good heart. You need to put that rage out on todays lyrics when they use the N word and call women bitches and whow$$$. Now that you should get mad about because the bros own those songs that disgrace our culture and women. Shame on your sorry ***.

Also there were hundreds of songs that was song in slavery times that went from plantation to plantation. They used songs to communicate and talk to each other so the masters did not know what they were talking about.

I don't know where you got this but you are so far off base with this statement that it's a joke.

Now that I caught you in a lie you are now trying to attack me personally? I probably forgot more than you will ever know. And by the way No Body Knows The Trouble I've Seen was written in the 19th century around 1910 or 12 Harry Douglas did the best musical arrangement on the song. It was written way after slavery in the USA. You attacked me without out cause. I hope everyone on the forum look up the song. You may have fancy words but what good are they when you lie and try to discredit someone who knows way more than you about black music history. The song was recorded around 1938 on Decca records and no black folks got a dime. Decca records sure got paid. Now a lot of my body of works is on the internet, google ect. Not all but a lot. Where is your body of work Mr. Earl? Tell me so I can look it up. This is the second time you did something like this to me. If you have a problem with me put me on ignore. But don't come out with lies and start talking about stuff that you have no idea what you are talking about. All the fancy words don't mean a damn thing when you tell lies on someone else. Next time do you homework before you jump to me about black music history because you don't know what you are talking about and then you attack me personally because I caught you in a lie. The song does not only express the pain and suffering for blacks but was also used in white plays also. I read what you wrote and knew what you were implying, my problem is that you embraced this song as a slavery song and I was in some way making a mockery of the song. This song is now public domain the true African Americans and their families who wrote the song will never see a dime. So next time pick a better song to attack me on or just put me on ignore.
