OH MARY, DON'T YOU WEEP

If I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood.

Pharoah's Army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Mary wore three links of chain
Every link was Jesus name.

Pharoah's Army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep.

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

Pharoah's Army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep.

One of these nights about twelve o‘c1ock
This old world is gonna reel and rock,

Pharoah's Army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Moses stood on the Red Seashore
Smotin' the water with a two by four.

Pharoah's Army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep.

OH MARY DON'T YOU WEEP


Well if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep

O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep

Well Mary wore three links and chains
On every link was Jesus' name
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep

O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't weep
Go!

Go!

Well one of these nights bout 12 o'clock
This old world is gonna rock
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep

Well Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Smote' the water with a two by four
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep

Alright!

(O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn)
(O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn)
(Pharaoh's army got drownded)
(O Mary don't you weep)

Well old Mr. Satan he got mad
Missed that soul that he thought he had
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep

Brothers and sisters don't you cry
There'll be good times by and by
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't weep

Well oh Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep

"No more water but fire next time"
Pharaoh's army got drownded
