First Aid Kit offer a lovely version of the song "All My Trials"

"All My Trials" was a folk song during the social protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s. It is based on a Bahamian lullaby that tells the story of a mother on her death bed, comforting her children, "Hush little baby, don't you cry./You know your mama's bound to die," because, as she explains, "All my trials, Lord,/Soon be over." The message — that no matter how bleak the situation seemed, the struggle would "soon be over" — propelled the song to the status of an anthem, recorded by many of the leading artists of the era.

Here the Swedish duo First Aid Kit offer a lovely version of the song. A rare bonus track from First Aid Kit's album ''The Big Black And The Blue''
