Miriam Mary Don't you weep
Oh Mary Don't You Weep (Soul Stirrers version-Miriam’s song)
Chorus:
Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army already got drowneded
Mary, don't you weep
When I was a boy long ago
I read a story that moved me so
About the people in bondage you see
Moved from Egypt wanted to flee
A man got a message from above
It said, go free the people that I love
Find the king and knock on his door
Tell him to let my people go
Chorus
The king got angry and didn’t agree
But finally he set the people free
But changed his mind on a whim
Gathered his men and said “After them!”
He finally caught them on the banks of the sea
The people called on the Power that be
You may not believe this but no time lost
The water rolled back and the children crossed
But when the king tried to cross with his men
The water quickly rose back again
Chorus
