Although Mississippi Fred Mc Dowell and Fury Lewis (open G) both did a 
version of this song This isn't exactly either of those. Closer to
MFMD's as it is in open D.

This is a "hammer" and not a "pinch". Except * the pulls are "pinches"

Glory glory, hallelujah, 
Since I lay (laid) my burden down. 
Glory glory, hallelujah, 
Since I lay (laid) my burden down. 

Every rung higher and higher 
When I lay my burden down. 
Every rung higher and higher
When I lay my burden down. 

No more troubles over yonder, 
When I lay my burden down. 
No more troubles over yonder
When I lay my burden down. 

Lord, I'm feeling so much better, 
Since I lay (laid) my burden down. 
Lord, I'm feeling so much better, 
Since I lay (laid) my burden down.
