If I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Pharoah's army got drownded
Oh, Mary, don't you weep

(Chorus:)
Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharoah's army got drownded
Oh, Mary, don't you weep

Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Smotin' the water with a two by four
Pharoah's army...

The Lord told Moses what to do
To lead those Hebrew children through...

(Chorus)

God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more water, but the fire next time...

Mary wore three links of chain
Every link was in freedom's name...

(Chorus)

When I get to Heaven, gonna sing & shout
Nobody up there to put me out!...

One of these mornings, it won't be long
You're gonna call my name but I'll be gone...

(Chorus)

One of these days, about 12 o'clock
This old world's gonna reel & rock....

One of these days, in the middle of the night
People gonna rise up and set things right...

(Chorus)

It was Moses, first proved the notion:
The world is safer with the army in the ocean...

(Chorus)
