Alec Ounsworth - Mo Beauty Holy, Holy, Holy Moses (song for New Orleans)
Lyrics
Holy, Holy, Holy Moses,
Can’t you hear me, Holy Moses?
Good God, I said I’ve seen rain and fire,
Lord God knows that I’ve seen rain and fire
Holy, Holy, Holy Moses,
Don’t you feel me, Holy Moses?
I’m a stranger to my own homeland,
Stranger stranger to myself I am,
Are you a stranger to me too?
Don’t tell me . . .
God spilled rain upon the water,
And the car got sunk,
And my Ma got drunk,
And my faith got shook,
How can I claim New Orleans?
I’m just wishing that the sun shines on my brother.
Holy, Holy, Holy Moses,
Don’t you fear me, Holy moses,
I have put your portrait in the sand,
High tide come and there I go again.
