about

"All My Trials" is a folk song written during the social protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s. Based on a Bahamian lullaby that tells the story of a mother on her death bed, comforting her children, "Hush little baby, don't you cry, you know your Mama's Born to die," because, "All my trials, Lord, soon be over." The message that no matter how bleak the situation, the struggle would "soon be over" propelled the song to the status of an Anthem, recorded by many of the leading artists of the era.

lyrics

Hush little Baby and don't you Cry,
you know your Mamma, she was Born to Die,
All my Trials Lord, soon be Over.

I had a little Book was Given to me,
and Every Page, spelled Liberty,
All my Trials Lord, soon be Over.

Too late my Brothers, but Never Mind,
All my Trials Lord, soon be Over.

The River Jordan is Chilly and Cold,
it Chills the Body, but it Warms the Soul,
All my Trials Lord, soon be Over.

There is a Tree in Paradise,
and the Pilgrims 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.
