Burden Down from Bloom Again by Allie Jean
I learned John Hurt's version after a fire destroyed the museum honoring him in Avalon, MS. I blended in Will the Circle Be Unbroken and made some lyric changes for the times. Key of C.

Lyrics
Glory glory hallelujah since I laid my burden down
Glory glory hallelujah since I laid my burden down
No more sickness, no more sorrow since I laid my burden down
No more sickness, no more sorrow since I laid my burden down, burden down
No more hatred for my neighbor since I laid my burden down
No more hatred for my neighbor since I laid my privilege down
Glory glory hallelujah since I laid my privilege down
Glory glory hallelujah since I laid my privilege down
No more callin' folks illegal since I laid my privilege down
No more callin' folks illegal since I laid my privilege down, privilege down
I don't fear those who are different since I laid my privilege down
I don't fear those who are different since I laid my privilege down
Glory glory hallelujah since I laid my burden down
Glory glory hallelujah since I laid my burden down
Will the circle be unbroken by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better world a-waiting if we all try, if we all try
Glory glory hallelujah since I laid my privilege down
Glory glory hallelujah since I laid my privilege down
