O.K., Masato: You're right, eleven times over. I too have the Real Bahamas two cd re-issue, and while the title is the same, the recording has no resemblance to the tape that I have. I dug it out today to listen to it, and now I see why I never transcribed the lyrics. To go back a step. Back in the 60's, my friend Howard Glasser sent me some reel to reel tapes of all sorts of odds and ends that he'd taped off the radio... comedy bits, songs, interviews, etc. Impossible to categorize. Take Your Burden To The Lord Was On there. I remembered it as I'm So Glad I got My Religion On Time, because that's how the song starts out, and ends. In the middle the trio starts out singing:

"Leave it there, leave it there
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
If you trust and believe, he will surely do? you right
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there

After they sing that through a couple of times, the lead singer starts improvising telling about the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. The two other singers sing the first two lines of the chorus, and then THEY start to improvise their own lines. It's quite a remarkable recording. Especially when you consider that it was taped off the radio (from what I remember), then copied onto another reel to reel tape which I got, and when it started deteriorating, I copied it on to a cassette, which is now probably at least 25 years old. The song has somewhat the feel of I Bid You Goodnight in structure, but is far looser and improvised. At this point, it's beyond transcribing. Even if I could transcribe it, it would be like doing the Mona Lisa in crayons.
