Run Mary Run
Traditional spiritual, recorded on Bound to Go featuring Runako Robinson
Run Mary run, run Mary run, run Mary run
I know the other world is not like this
Fire in the east and fire in the west
I know the other world is not like this
Bound to burn the wilderness
I know the other world is not like this
Jordan river is the river to cross
I know the other world is not like this
Stretch your rod and come across
I know the other world is not like this
Run Mary run, run Mary run, run Mary run
I know the other world is not like this
Ol’ trouble it come like a gloomy cloud
I know the other world is not like this
Gather thick and thunder loud
I know the other world is not like this
One of these morning bright & fair
I’ll try my wings and take the air
I know the other world is not like this
Run Mary run, run Mary run, run Mary run
I know the other world is not like this
If religion was a thing that money can buy
I know the other world is not like this
The rich would live and the poor would die
If this was the judgment day
I know the other world is not like this
Every little soul would want to pray
I know the other world is not like this
Run Mary run, run Mary run, run Mary run
I know the other world is not like this
Run Mary run, run Mary run, run Mary run
I know the other world is not like this
I know the other world is not like this
