Aw, I just spent lots of time transcribing from the Doc Watson and Ricky Skaggs recordings, and I see Peg posted yet another version. They're all more-or-less the same, but here goes. I don't really care for the Doc Watson recording. Skaggs does wonderful harmony with his wife Sharon and her sister Cheryl Warren on his, and Doc solo can't match up.

Doc Watson (similar to version in Digital Tradition)

TALK ABOUT SUFFERING

CHORUS
Talk about suffering here below
And talk about loving Jesus.
Talk about suffering here below
And let's keep a-following Jesus.

The gospel train is coming
Now, don't you want to go?
And leave this world of trials
And troubles here below.

Oh, don't you hear it, Father?
And don't you want to go?
And leave this world of trials
And troubles here below.
CHORUS

Oh, don't you hear it, Mother?
And don't you want to go?
And leave this world of trials
And troubles here below.
CHORUS

Oh, don't you hear it, Brother?
And don't you want to go?
And leave this world of trials
And troubles here below.

Oh, don't you hear it, Sister?
And don't you want to go?
And leave this world of trials
And troubles here below.
CHORUS
