Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, if I could, I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 2]
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 3]
Well, Mary wore three links of chain
On every link was Jesus' name
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 4]
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
O Mary don't weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't weep, go
[Verse 5]
Well, one of these nights, 'bout 12 o'clock
This old world is gonna rock
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 6]
Well, Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Smote the water with a two by four
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't weep
[Verse 7]
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 8]
Well, old Mister Satan, he got mad
Missed that soul that he thought he had
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 9]
Brothers and sisters, don't you cry
They'll be good times, by and by
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't weep
[Verse 10]
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 11]
Show 'em what talkin' bout
[Verse 12]
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 13]
Intro
[Verse 14]
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more water, but fire next time
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 15]
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 16]
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
O Mary don't weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep, everybody
[Verse 17]
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
[Verse 18]
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you
[Verse 19]
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drowned
O Mary don't you weep
