Oh Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Oh Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharoah's army got drownded
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

One of these nights about 12 o' clock
This old worlds going to reel and rock
Pharoah's army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep

God told Moses what to do
To lead the Hebrew children through
Pharoah'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
Pharoah's army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep
God gave Moses the rainbow sign
No more water, but fire next time
Pharoah's army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep

Mary wore three links of chain
Every link was freedoms name
Pharoah's army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep

The very moment I thought I was lost
The dungeon shook and the chains fell off
Pharoah's army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep

I may be right and I may be wrong
I know you're gonna miss me when I am gone
Pharoah's army got drownded
Oh Mary don't you weep
