Our Singing Country
3   But if I overcome this trouble Pm in, Lawd, I never no mo' will live in sin.
4  When I was a free man I had plenty friends; Now Pm in trouble, an' they won5 come in.
5  Lawd, in struggle Pll stretch my hands to Thee, Lawd, in trouble, no other help I know.
6  But if Thou withdrew Thyself from me; I would wonder where then shall I go.
7  Lawd, if I could hear my dear old mother When she pray for me once again!
8  Trouble have caused me to weep, an' it's caused me to moan. An' it caused me to leave my happy home.
LIGHTS IN THE QUARTERS BURNIN' MIGHTY DIM
