Creep Along Moses

Didn't old pharaoh get lost, get lost, get lost

Didn't old pharaoh get lost, yes, tryin' to cross the Red Sea.

Ol' Satan wears an old iron shoe

Tryin' to cross the Red Sea,

If you don't mind he'll slip it on you

Tryin' to cross the Red Sea

I wonder what the devil keeps grumblin' about,

Tryin' to cross the Red Sea,

He's down in hell and he can't get out,

Tryin' to cross the Red Sea

Creep along, Moses, Moses creep along,

Creep along Moses, I thank God

Creep along, Moses, Moses creep along,

Creep along Moses, I'm going home

Didn't old pharaoh get lost, yes, tryin' to cross the Red Sea.

I went down in the valley to say a little prayer,

Tryin' to cross the Red Sea,

When I got there, ol' Satan was there,

Tryin' to cross the Red Sea

And I fell down upon my knees

Tryin' to cross the Red Sea

I cried "Lord have mercy, if You please"

Creep along, Moses, Moses creep along,

Creep along Moses, I thank God

Creep along, Moses, Moses creep along,

Creep along Moses, I'm going home

Didn't old pharaoh get lost, get lost, get lost

Didn't old pharaoh get lost, yes, tryin' to cross the Red Sea.
