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
