Try This:

[1] Open a new terminal command prompt window
[2] Type  gpg -a --export-secret-key keyname

The private key block should then appear in your terminal window.

No passphrase is necessary unless you want to 'edit' the key.

This works in both GnuPG 1.x and 2.x 
assuming that your keyrings are in your home directory.

Don't use gpg-agent for this.
