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
Faraos army already got drownded
Mary don't you weep

People singing
Oh mary don't you weep don't you mourn
Oh mary don't you weep don't you mourn
Faraos army already got drownded
Mary don't you weep

when I was a little boy, long ago
I read a story that moved me so
about the people in bondage you see
who from Egypt wanted to flee

a man got a message from above
he said go free the people that I love
find the king and knock on his door
tell him to let my people go

Oh mary don't you weep don't you mourn
Oh mary don't you weep don't you mourn
Faraos army already got drownded
Mary don't you weep

The King got angry and didn't agree
but finally he set the people free
but changed his mind on oh on a whim
gathered his men and set after them

he finally caught them on the banks of the sea
the people got on the power that be
you may not believe this but no time lost
the water flowed back and the children crossed
when the king tried to cross with his men
the water quickly flowed back again

Oh mary don't you weep don't you moan
Oh mary don't you weep don't you moan
Faraos army already got drownded
Mary don't you weep
Faraos army already got drownded
Mary don't you weep
Mary don't you weep
