Carter Family - Little Moses
(capo 3rd fret)
(verse 1)
A E A
Away by the river so clear
E A
The ladies were winding their way
E
While Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down in the water
A E A
To bathe in the cool of the day
(chorus)
A
Before it was dark she opened the ark
E A
And found the sweet infant was there
A
Before it was dark she opened the ark
E A
And found the sweet infant was there
(verse 2)
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
(chorus)
A
She called him her own, her beautiful son
E A
And she sent for a nurse who was near
A
She called him her own, her beautiful son
E A
And she sent for a nurse who was near
(verse 3)
And away by the river so clear
They carried that beautiful child
To his own tender mother, his sister and brother
Little Moses looked happy and smiled
(chorus)
A
His mother so good done all that she could
E A
To rear him and teach him with care
A
His mother so good done all that she could
E A
To rear him and teach him with care
(verse 4)
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
(chorus)
A
And the Jews safely crossed while Pharaoh's host
E A
Was drowned in the waters and lost
A
And the Jews safely crossed while Pharaoh's host
E A
Was drowned in the waters and lost
(verse 5)
And away on a mountain so high
The last one that ever did see
While in Him victorious his hope was most glorious
He'd soon oe'r the Jordan be free
(chorus)
A
When his labor did cease he departed in peace
E A
And rested in the Heavens above
A
When his labor did cease he departed in peace
E A
And rested in the Heavens above
