OH, MARY DON'T YOU WEEP
CHORUS:
[G] Oh, Mary, don't you [D] weep, don't mourn;
Oh, Mary, don't you [G] weep, don't mourn;
[C] Pharaoh's army got [G] drowned,
Oh, [D] Mary, don't you [G] weep.
X2
[G] Well if I could I surely [D] would,
Stand on the rock where [G] Moses stood.
[C] Pharaoh's army got [G] drowned,
[G] Oh, [D] Mary, don't you [G] weep.
CH X 2
One of these morns about twelve o' clock
This old world is going to reel and rock
Pharaoh's army got drowned,
Oh, Mary, don't you weep.
CH X 3

Oh Mary
C G7
Oh Mary, don’t you weep, don’t you mourn
C
Oh Mary, don’t you weep, don’t you mourn
F C
Pharoah’s army got drowned
G7 C
Oh, Mary, don’t you weep
If I could I surely would
Stand on the rock that Moses stood
Pharoah’s army got drowned
Oh Mary, don’t you weep
Mary wore three links of chain
Every link was Jesus’ name
Pharoah’s army got drowned
Oh Mary, don’t you weep
One of these nights about twelve o’clock
This old world’s gonna reel and rock
Pharoah’s army got drowned
Oh Mary, don’t you weep
God told Moses what to do
To lead the Hebrew children through
Pharoah’s army got drowned
Oh Mary, don’t you weep
Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Smotin’ the water with a two – by – four
Pharoah’s army got drowned
Oh Mary, don’t you weep
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more water but fire next time
Pharoah’s army got drowned
Oh Mary, don’t you weep
Mary wore three links of chain
Every link was freedom’s name
Pharoah’s army got drowned
Oh Mary, don’t you weep
The very moment I thought I was lost
The dungeon shook and the chains fell off
Pharoah’s army got drowned
Oh Mary, don’t you weep
