This I could listen to all day.
John Davis with Bessie Jones and the Georgia Sea Island Singers, “Moses, Don’t Get Lost,” live, St. Simons Island, Georgia, 1959
Oh Moses, Moses, don’t get lost — in that Red Sea
Smite your rod and come across — in that Red Sea
Talkin’ about the host got lost, got lost, got lost
Ol’ Pharoah and the host got lost – in that Red Sea
