Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Went down the hill
Other day
My soul got happy
And stayed all day
Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
Went in the room
Didn't stay long
Looked on the bed and,
Brother was dead
Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard
Ooh Lordy, troubles so hard

The fact that Moby gave her estate the money and ensured date got recognition 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@yaboyj2191
It's not like he had a choice in giving them the money
@bekiryilmaz458
You mean they settled only after the estate threatened to sue. Certainly wouldn’t expect any more from an artist who plasters music videos with his own face, even ones he mostly lifted from other artists, no homage anywhere to be found.
