Lyrics
TROUBLE I ONCE KNEW
Trouble I once knew burden me no more (x3)
Fare you well, fare you well
Jonah in the belly could not be kept down (x3)
Fare you well, fare you well
Body was broken, spirit set free (x3)
Fare you well, fare you well
Marched into Memphis, bullet brought him down (x3)
Fare you well, fare you well
Walked on the water, healed the leper too (x3)
Fare you well, fare you well
When the storm was heavy, saw the rainbow sign (x3)
Fare you well, fare you well
Into the valley we will head on (x3)
Fare you well, fare you well
