Spiritual Title: “Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray”

Lyrics: “(Way down yonder by myself) / (And I couldn't hear nobody pray) / Oh Lord, I couldn't hear nobody pray / Couldn't hear nobody pray / Oh, way down / yonder by myself / And I couldn't hear nobody pray / Oh Lord, I couldn't hear nobody pray / Couldn't hear nobody pray / Oh, way down yonder by myself / And I couldn't hear nobody pray / In the valley / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / On my knees / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / With my burden / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / And my Saviour / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / Oh Lord, I couldn't hear nobody pray / Couldn't hear nobody pray / Oh, way down yonder by myself / And I couldn't hear nobody pray / Chilly water / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / In the Jordan / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / Crossin' over / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / Into Canaan / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / Oh Lord, I couldn't hear nobody pray / I couldn't hear nobody pray / Oh, way down yonder by myself / And I couldn't hear nobody pray / Hallelujah / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / Troubles over / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / In the Kingdom / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / With my Jesus / (Couldn't hear nobody pray) / Oh Lord, I couldn't hear nobody pray / I couldn't hear nobody pray / Oh, way down yonder by myself / And I couldn't hear (No, Lord, I couldn't hear) / I couldn't hear (No, Lord, I couldn't hear, Lord) / And I couldn't hear nobody pray / (Couldn't hear nobody pray, nobody)”

What does it mean?

This song means that someone is traveling up to Canada to be free and they’re talking about the path they took to get there.

Who would most likely sing this and why?

A slave on their free time to give themselves hope that they could someday leave the plantation.

3 hidden messages:

1. “In the valley / On my knees / With my burden / And my Saviour” They’re getting ready to leave the plantation with their things and hope.

2. “Chilly water / In the Jordan” They went up the Jordan River.

3. “Hallelujah / Troubles over / In the Kingdom” The slave has made it to Canada and is now free.
