Moses stood on the red sea shore
Smotin' the water with a 2 by 4
Pharoah's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
If I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Pharoah's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
CHORUS:
O Mary don't you weep don't you mourn
O Mary don't you weep don't you mourn
Pharoah's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
Mary weep, Martha moan,
Brother Lazarus dead and gone
Pharoah's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
Jesus done just what he said
Heal the sick and raise the dead
Pharoah's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
CHORUS
One of these nights, 'bout twelve o'clock
This old world is gonna reel and rock
Pharoah's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
One of these mornings, bright and fair
Gonna try my wings and cleave the air
Pharoah's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
CHORUS
When I get to heaven, gonna put on my shoes
Run around glory, shoutin' the news
Pharoah's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
When I get to heaven, gonna sing and shout
Ain't nobody there for to put me out
Pharoah's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep |
