(Tune: She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain)

The two midwives wouldn't listen to Pharaoh; Wouldn't drown the Hebrew infants, Oh, no, no; It was Shifrah, it was Puah, who saved each baby Jew-ah; These two midwives wouldn't listen to Pharoah.

Moses' mother hid him from the evil ones; For he was her flesh and blood; he was her son, Yocheved made an ark, put her baby in the dark; It was she who hid him from the evil ones

Moses' sister took him to the river Nile; And she watched as Pharoah's daughter came in style; Miriam--she brought her mother to nurse her baby brother; Moses' sister took him to the river Nile.

And the princess brought him up to be a man; Til away from Egypt Moses ran and ran Batya; Batya--she was great, joined the Hebrews in their fate Yes; this princess brought him up to be a man

Moses' wife gave him the courage to go back; " If you stay in Midian, you will be a hack!"; Oh, Tsiporah, oh Tsiporah! Without her we'd have no Torah; Moses' wife gave him the courage to go back.

In the ark, Her light upon him it did shine; Moses sought Her presence, for Her he did pin;. Oh Shechinah, soul of Torah, now we seek You more and more, ah; In the Ark Your light upon him, it did shine.
