O Mary Don’t You Weep

[Verse 1]
Well if I could, I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Pharaoh's army got drowned
Oh Mary, don't you weep

Oh Mary, don't you weep, don't mourn
Oh Mary, don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
Oh Mary, don't you weep

Well, Mary wore three links of chain
On every link was Jesus' name
Pharaoh's army got drowned
Oh Mary, don't you weep

Oh Mary, don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
Oh Mary, don't you weep

Well one of these nights about twelve o'clock
This old world is going to rock
Pharaoh's army got drowned
Oh 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 drowned
Oh Mary, don't you weep

Oh Mary, don't you weep, don't mourn
Oh Mary, don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
Oh Mary, don't you weep

Well, old Mister Satan, he got mad
Missed that soul that he thought he had
Pharaoh's army got drowned

Brothers and sisters, don't you cry
There'll be good times by and by
Pharaoh's army got drowned

No more water, but fire next time
Pharaoh's army got drowned

Oh Mary, don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
Oh Mary, don't you weep
