THE BALLAD OF MOSES IN MIDIAN (Tune: Rig-a-Jig-Jig)

1. Moses wanted o help his folk, help his folk, help his folk Be rid of their bondage & their yoke. Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh! 2. Grown up Moses went to see, went to see, went to see His brethren in their misery. Oh-no, oh-no, oh-no! 3. He saw his brother being hit, being hit, being hit, And Moses couldn't stand for it! Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh! 4. He looked this way and that way, Looked this way, and that way Slew an Egyptian on that day! Oh, what a big no-no! 5. His brothers & the Pharaoh knew, Pharaoh knew, Pharaoh knew What Moses did and away he flew! Go-go, go-go, go-go! 6. He ran away to Midian, To Midian, to Midian, Sat by a well and began again! Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh! 7. Seven daughters came to draw, Came to draw, came to draw Water from the water trough. Hi-ho, hi-ho, hi-ho! 8. Shepherds tried to shoo them away, Shoo them away, shoo them away, Moses stood up to them that day! Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho! 9. The daughters brought him home for bread, Home for bread, home for bread. And to his wife then was led. Hello, hello, hello! 10. What a change poor Mosses faced, Moses faced, Moses faced. From palace to a desert place. So low, so low, so low! 11. God planned this and everything, And everything, and everything. His people to the land to bring! Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho!
