(D. Lasley and L. Marrano)
|
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
|
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
|
|
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
|
Guide me to the new woman who waits
|
Current, leave me on the banks
|
By the cottage
|
Wher we will dine with silver cups
|
And golden plates
|
|
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
|
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
|
|
I've prepared for my last journey
|
You know I've worked all my life
|
To make this basket strong
|
But a woman alone on a river
|
She can't stay in the water too long
|
|
I've been chilled, I've lost my will
|
And I've stayed away from rivers
|
Much too long
|
I really must stay in this dirty dirty city
|
Till I found out that my strength was gone
|
|
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
|
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
|
Just like Moses
|
|
Make my journey, make it short in space
|
Let me lose this hardness that I got now, Lord
|
Water, wash away all traces of hate
|
I will do what you say
|
If you just show me how, river
|
|
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
|
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
|
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
|
Roll me through the rushes
|
Just like Moses on the Nile
|
|
River, river (sail)
|
River, river (sail)
|
River, river (sail)
|
River, river (sail)
|
