Bob Dylan - Little Moses (Trad. Live, 1992)

Way by the water so wide The ladies were winding their way As Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down to the water To bathe in the cool of the day. And before it was dark, she opened the ark And found a sweet infant was there And before it was dark, she opened the ark And found a sweet infant was there. Way by the river so blue The infant was lonely and sad She thought him so pretty and on him took pity And it made little Moses so glad. And she called him her own, her beautiful son And she sent for a nurse that was near She called him her own, her beautiful son And she sent for a nurse that was near. Way by the water so wide She carried the beautiful child His own tender mother, his sister and brother Little Moses looked happy and smiled. And his mother, so good, done all that she could To rear him and teach him with care And his mother, so good, done all that she could To rear him and teach him with care. Way by the sea that was red Little Moses, a servant of god Who in him confided and the sea was divided As upward he lifted his rod. And the Jews they flew 'cross while Pharaoh's horse Was drowned in the waters and lost And the Jews they flew 'cross while Pharaoh's horse Was drowned in the waters and lost. Way by the mountain so high The last one that ever might be His hope was most glorious that he'd be victorious And someday his people be free. And when his labor did cease, he departed in peace And he rested in the heavens above And he rested in the heavens above.
