Troubles I once knew
Burden me no more

Jonah in the belly
Could not be kept down

Could not be kept down

Body was broken
Spirit set free
Body was broken
Spirit set free
Body was broken
Spirit set free

March into Memphis
Bullet brought him down
March into Memphis
Bullet brought him down

Walk on the water
Heal the leper too
Walk on the water
Heal leper too
Walk on the water
Heal the leper too
Fare ye well

When the storm was heavy
Saw the rainbow sign
When the storm was heavy
Saw the rainbow sign
(Eleanor hums)

Into the valley
We will head on
Into the valley
We will head on
Into the valley
We will head on
…
