I thinks every day an’ I wish I could

Stan’ on de rock whar Moses stood;

Oh, Pharaoh’s army got drownded,

O baby, don’t you weep.

If you git dere befo’ I do,

Tell de Cap’n I’s a-comin’ too;

Pharaoh’s army got drownded,

O baby, don’t you weep.

If I had wings lak de angels have,

I never be caught drivin’ in anudder cab;
