Little Moses (Traditional)
Away by the water so blue,
The ladies were winding their way,
When Pharaoh's little daughter
Stepped down to the water
To bathe in the cool of the day.
And Before it was dark
She looked in the ark
And found the sweet infant was there.
And Before it was dark
She looked in the ark
And found the sweet infant was there.
And away by the waters so blue,
She carried the beautiful child,
To his tender mother, his sister and brother,
Little Moses looked happy and smiled.
And called him her own,
Her beautiful son
And sent for a nurse that was near.
And called him her own,
Her beautiful son
And sent for a nurse that was near.
And away by the sea that was red,
Little Moses the servant of God,
Before him subsided, the sea was divided,
As upward he lifted his rod.
The Jews safely crossed
While Pharaoh's host
Were drownded in the waters and lost.
The Jews safely crossed
While Pharaoh's host
Were drownded in the waters and lost.
And away on the mountain so high,
The last one that ever did see,
While he's real victorious, his hopes were most glorious
Some day o'er the Jordan be free.
When his spirit did cease,
He departed in peace
And rested in the Heavens above.
When his spirit did cease,
He departed in peace
And rested in the Heavens above.

from other versions:
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.
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
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.
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 safely crossed while Pharaoh's host
Was drownded 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.
