Little Moses
Ralph Stanley

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 babe that 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

And she sent for a nurse who was near

And away by the waters so blue

They carried that beautiful child

To his tender mother, to his sister and brothers

Little Moses looked happy and smiled

His mother so good did all that she could

To raise 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 upwards he lifted his rod

And the Jews safely crossed while Pharaoh's host

Was drowned in the waters and lost
