I’m Troubled

Traditional Spiritual – Arrangement: Brenda Wootton

 

Brenda’s selection of material for her concerts very much depended on her singing songs with which she felt comfortable, which appealed to her, and hopefully, to her audiences. Fairly obviously, her choices were very popular with audiences around the world – and although her love of Cornwall shone through every programme, audiences could also expect to be regaled with an eclectic range of songs incorporating bawdy humour, sensitive love songs, powerful spirituals, ballsy blues and punchy rock numbers.

 

 

“I’m Troubled” (Fisk Jubilee Singers Spiritual) from Brenda’s 1st album privately recorded at Pipers Folk Club

Chorus:

I’m troubled, I’m troubled,

I’m troubled in my mind

If Jesus don’t help me,

I surely will die

 

Oh Jesus, my Saviour,

On Thee I depend

When troubles are near me

You’ll be my true friend

Chorus:

When laden with trouble,

And burdened with grief

To Jesus, in secret,

I’ll go for relief

Chorus:

In dark days of bondage

To Jesus I prayed

To help me to bear it,

And he gave me his aid
