"Oh, Mary, Don't You Weep" lyrics

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
The Pharaoh's army got drownded
Oh, Mary, don't you weep

The way of evil doing is wide and fair
And many are they who perish there
The Pharaoh's army got drownded
Oh, Mary, don't you weep

There was a man who came on Earth to save
Through Him we stem the tide of tribulations wave
But the Pharaoh's army got drownded
Oh, Mary, don't you weep

Now, Moses took the people by the hand
And led them all to the promise land
But
The Pharaoh's army got drownded
Oh, Mary, don't you weep

The Red Sea parted for Moses's throne
But when King Pharaoh tried to follow along
Well
The Pharaoh's army got drownded
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
The Pharaoh's army got drownded
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
The Pharaoh's army got drownded
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
The Pharaoh's army got drownded
Oh, Mary, don't you weep
