Paul Robeson, Louis Armstrong, Al Jolson, a few others, but Paul  
Robeson is most recorded. (You might have better luck searching  
"NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLES I'VE SEEN"  ;-)

Ry Cooder did a similar song "Nobody" on his "Jazz" album that Bert  
Williams wrote & performed:

> Nobody knows the trouble I see
> Nobody knows but me
>
> When life seems full of clouds and rain
> I am filled with naught but pain
> Who soothes my thumpin' bumpin brain?
> Nobody
>
> And When winter comes with snow and sleet
> And me with hunger and cold feet
> Who says, "Here's a quarter, boy now you go and eat"?
> Nobody
>
> I ain't never done nothin'
> to nobody
> And I ain't never got nothin'
> from nobody
> no time
> And until I get somethin'
> from somebody sometime,
> well, I don't intend to do nothin'
> for nobody
> no time
>
> Then summer comes all cool and clear
> And my good friends they see me drawin' near
> Who says, "Come on in here, man, have a beer"?
> No-body
>
> Last christmas eve it was about daybreak
> I was in that railroad wreck
> And who was it hauled the engine off my neck
> Not a livin' soul

> I ain't ever done nothin'

> Until I get me somethin'
> from somebody sometime
> Well I been thinkin' it out

> I don't intend to do nothin'
> for nobody
> Nobody no time, no time
> Nobody no time
>
> Well I don't intend
> To do nothin'
> for nobody no time
