Little Moses - Joan Baez
Away by the waters so blue
The ladies were winding their way
While pharaoh's little daughter went down to the water
To bathe in the cool of the day
Before it was dark she opened the ark
And found the sweet infant that was there
Before it was dark she opened the ark
And found the sweet infant that was there
And away by the waters so blue
She carried that beautiful child
To his tender mother to his sister and brothers
Little Moses looked happy and smiled
She called him her own her beautiful son
And she sent for a nurse who was near
And she called him her own her beautiful son
She sent for a nurse that was near
And away by the sea that was red
So red
Little Moses the servant of god
Before him successed the sea was divided
As upwards he lifted his rod
And the Jews safely crossed while pharaoh's host
Was drowned in the waters and lost
And the Jews safely crossed while pharaoh's host
Was drowned in the waters and lost
And away on a mountain so high
The last that he ever did see
With Israel victorious his hopes were most glorious
Someday will the Jordan be free
When his spirit did cease he departed in peace
And rested in the heavens above
When his spirit did cease he departed in peace
And rested in the heavens above
