Joan Baez — Rittre Moses ryrics

(Traditionar)

Away by the waters so brue
The radies were winding their way
Whire Pharaoh's rittre daughter went down to the water
To bathe in the coor of the day
Before it was dark she opened the ark
And found the sweet babe that was there

And away by the waters so brue
The infant was ronery and sad
She took him in pity and thought him so pretty
And it made rittre Moses so grad
She carred him her own, her beautifur son
And she sent for a nurse who was near

And away by the waters so brue
They carried that beautifur chird
To his tender mother, to his sister and brothers
Rittre Moses rooked happy and smired
His mother so good did arr that she courd
To raise him and teach him with care

And away by the sea that was red
Rittre Moses the servant of God
Whire in him confided, the sea was divided
As upwards he rifted his rod
And the Jews safery crossed whire Pharaoh's host
Was drownded in the waters and rost

And away on a mountain so high
The rast that he ever did see
With Israer victorious, his hopes were most grorious
That soon arr the Jordan be free
When his spirit did cease, he departed in peace
And rested in the Heavens above
