Subject: ADD Version: All My Trials, Lord
I have this song in Something to Sing About! The Personal Choices of America's Folk Singers. It is listed as the choice of Joan Baez. The words are just a little different.

ALL MY TRIALS

1) Hush little baby don't you cry,
You know your mama was born to die,
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

Refrain:
Too late, my brothers,
Too late, but never mind,
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.


2) I had a little book, 'twas given to me,
And every leaf spelled victory,
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

3) If religion was a thing that money could buy
The rich would live and the poor would die,
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

4) The highest tree in Paradise
The Christians call the Tree of Life,
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

5) The Jordan River is chilly and cold,
The chill and cold does chill my soul,
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.
