Hush little baby, don't you cry, 
You know your mother was born to die 
All my trials, Lord, soon be over 
Too late my brothers, too late 

But never mind 
All my trials, Lord soon be over 
The river of Jordan is chilly and cold 
It chills the body but it warms the soul, 

All my trials, Lord soon be over 
I've got a little book with pages three, 
And every page spells liberty, 
All my trials Lord, soon be over 

Too late my brothers, too late 
But never mind 
All my trials, Lord soon be over 
If living were a thing that money could buy, 

You know the rich would live 
And the poor would die, 
All my trials Lord, soon be over 
There grows a tree in Paradise, 

The Christians call it the tree of life, 
All my trials Lord, soon be over 
Too late my brothers, too late 
But never mind 
All my trials, Lord soon be over
