Thread Name: Lyr/Origin: Happy in the Prison
Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN I LAY MY BURDENS DOWN (Roy Acuff)
Acuff's version is a simplified rendition of "Happy in Prison." Here, the tune is clearly "Circle Be Unbroken" and in fact, Acuff recorded "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" on the flip side. Must have been an easy session!
