Roll Me Through the Rushes

Roll me through the rushes like Moses

Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

Roll me through the rushes

Guide me to the new woman who waits

Current, leave me on the banks by the cottage

Where we will dine with silver cups and golden plates

I’m well 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, I’ve lost my will

And I've stayed away from rivers, for much too long

I really must stay in this dirty, dirty city

Till I found out that my strength was gone[Hook]

Roll me through the rushes like Moses

Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

Just like Moses

Make my journey, make it short and straight

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
