Hymnal: Folk Songs of the American Negro (No. 1) #4 (1907) Hymnal Title: Folk Songs of the American Negro (No. 1) First Line: Some of these mornings bright and fair Refrain First Line: O Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn Lyrics: Chorus:
O Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn,
O Mary, don't you weep don't you mourn;
Pharoh's army got drownded,
O Mary, don't you weep.
1 Some of these mornings bright and fair,
Take my wings and cleave the air.
Pharoh's army got drownded
O Mary, don't you weep. [Chorus]
2 When I get to Heaven goin' to sing and shout,
Nobody there for to turn me out.
Pharoh's army got drownded
O Mary, don't you weep. [Chorus]
3 When I get to Heaven goin' to put on my shoes,
Run about glory and tell all the news.
Pharoh's army got drownded
O Mary, don't you weep. [Chorus]
