Pharaoh's army got drowned

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

Chorus:
Pharoah's army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep.

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

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

One of these nights about 12 o' clock
This old worlds going to reel and rock.

God told Moses what to do
To lead the Hebrew children through.

Moses stood on the red sea shore
Smotin' the water with a two by four.

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

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

The very moment I thought I was lost
The dungeon shook and the chains fell off.

I may be right and I may be wrong

I know you're gonna miss me when I am gone.
