| Video Discription | A song from our concert, "Songs of African-America" at South Yarra Senior Centre in Fawkner Park. We sang this song as a prelude to "If You Miss Me At the Back of the Bus" which uses the tune of this early spiritual. This Negro spiritual from before the American Civil War refers to various Biblical stories. The Mary of the title is Mary of Bethany, who pleaded with Jesus to raise her brother Lazarus from the dead. There are references to the Exodus and crossing of the Red Sea and to the story of Noah's ark. The song was revived during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. The first recording was by the Fisk Jubilee Singers in 1915. Later recordings include The Caravans (1958), The Swan Silvertones (1962), Burl Ives, Pete Seeger (at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival), Take 6 (1988) and Bruce Springsteen (2006). This is a very short version of the song. You can see the full version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAa2-l-VZBM Lyrics and chords: G .............. D7 If I could I surely would ........................................... G Stand on the rock where Moses stood. C ................................ G Pharoah’s army got drownded ......... D7 ................... G Oh, Mary, don’t you weep. G ............................. D7 Oh, Mary don’t you weep, don’t you mourn. .................................. G Oh, Mary, don’t you weep, don’t you mourn. C ................................ G Pharoah’s army got drownded. ......... D7 .................. G Oh, Mary don’t you weep. Moses stood on the red sea shore Smitin’ the water with a two-by-four. Pharoah’s army got drownded. Oh, Mary, don’t you weep. The Lord told Moses what to do, To lead those Hebrew children through. Pharoah’s army got drownded. Oh, Mary, don’t you weep.
