Little Moses

Little Moses - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

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
