Carter Family, The - Little Moses Lyrics
Away by the river so clear
The ladies were winding their way
And Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down in the water
To bathe in the cool of the day
And found the sweet infant was there
Before it was dark, she opened the ark
And found the sweet infant was there
And away by the waters so blue
The infant was lonely and sad
She took him in pity and thought him so pretty
And it made little Moses so glad
She called him her own, her beautiful son
She called him her own, her beautiful son
And sent for a nurse that was near
And away by the river so clear
They carried the beautiful child
To his own tender mother, his sister and brother
Little Moses looked happy and smiled
His mother, so good, done all that she could
To rear him and teach him with care
His mother, so good, done all that she could
To rear him and teach him with care
And away by the sea that was red
Little Moses, the servant of God
While in Him confided the sea was divided
As upward he lifted his rod
The Jews, they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Was drowned in the waters and lost
The Jews, they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Was drowned in the waters and lost
And away on the mountain so high
The last one that ever might see
While in his victorious, his hope was most glorious
He'd soon, o'er the Jordan, be free
When his labor did cease, he departed in peace
And rested in the heavens above
When his labor did cease, he departed in peace
And rested in the heavens above

Carter Family, The Little Moses Comments
Haunting, spine tingling in a good way, one can almost see the humble country folk worshipping their blessed Lord.
The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Was drownded in the waters and lost
The story of Pesach!
Great song for Mother's Day, honors both natural and adoptive moms.
I have to say that Maybelle was more attractive than Sara
Classic Carter Family.
