Lyrics Little Moses - The Carter Family
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
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
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
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
they
could
cross
while
Pharaoh's
host
Was
drownded
in
the
waters
and
lost
The
Jews
they
could
cross
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
