Roll me through the rushes like moses
Roll me through the rushes just like mosesRoll me through the rushes like moses
Guide me to the new woman who waits
Current, leave me on the banks
By the cottage
Wher we will dine with silver cups
And golden platesRoll me through the rushes like moses
Roll me through the rushes just like mosesI've 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 longI've been chilled, I've lost my will
And I've stayed away from rivers
Much too long
I really must stay in this dirty dirty city
Till I found out that my strength was goneRoll me through the rushes like moses
Roll me through the rushes just like mosesRoll me through the rushes like moses
Roll me through the rushes just like mosesRoll 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 nileRiver, river (sail)
River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)
