[Verse 1]
Had a little book, was given to me
And every page spells liberty
All my trials, Lord
Soon be over

[Verse 2]
There is a tree in paradise
And the pilgrims call it the tree of life
All my trials, Lord
Soon be over

[Verse 3]
But it's too late, my friend
Too late
But never mind
All my trials, Lord
Soon be over

[Verse 4]
If living were a thing that money could buy
Well, the rich would live and the poor would die
All my trials, Lord
Soon be over
All my trials, Lord
Soon be over
