His bottle is hanging by an old shoe string
Is it gonna break, is it gonna break?
If that bottle falls it’s gonna hit that bell and make that metal sing
Is it gonna ring, is it gonna ring?
Because I feel that cold wind moaning coming up through the trees
And his Devil eyes will be the death of me
So I lie up in the bushes, Lord I’m burning to be free
Crying Moses come for me
That poison water casts an evil spell
Is it gonna take, is it gonna take?
Now if you poke that Devil he’ll crack his eyes and come a running after me
Is he gonna wake, is he gonna wake?
Because I feel that cold wind moaning coming up through the trees
And his Devil eyes will be the death of me
So I lie up in the bushes, Lord I’m burning to be free
Crying Moses come for me
We lay still and quiet while he screams and he yells
The world will shake, the whole wide world will shake
But Moses is coming cause he split the seas he’s gonna take my soul away
He’s coming any day, Lord he’s coming any day.
And I feel that cold wind moaning coming up through the trees
And his Devil eyes will be the death of me
So I lie up in the bushes, Lord I’m burning to be free
Crying Moses come for me
Moses with your staff of wood lay my Devil down
But hurry quick with that holy stick because I’m almost in the ground
And I know you told that pharaoh man to set your people free
Oh but Moses come for me
I feel that cold wind moaning coming up through the trees
And his Devil eyes will be the death of me
So I lie up in the bushes, Lord I’m burning to be free
Crying Moses come for me
