Oh, Mary, Don't You Weep

If I could I surely would

Stand on the rock where Moses stood

Pharaoh's army got drownded

Oh, Mary, don't you weep

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Pharaoh's army got drownded

Oh, Mary, don't you weep

Mary wore three links of chain

On every link was Jesus' name

Pharaoh's army got drownded

Oh, Mary, don't you weep

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Pharaoh's army got drownded

Oh, Mary, don't you weep

Mary wore three links of chain

On every link was freedom's name

Pharaoh's army got drownded

Oh, Mary, don't you weep

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Pharaoh's army got drownded

Oh, Mary, don't you weep

One of these nights about 12 o'clock

This old world's gonna reel and rock

Pharaoh's army got drownded

Oh, Mary, don't you weep

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Pharaoh'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

Pharaoh's army got drownded

Oh, Mary, don't you weep

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Pharaoh's army got drownded

Oh, Mary, don't you weep

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn

Pharaoh's army got drownded

Oh, Mary, don't you weep
