Bow low, Mary, bow low, Martha,
For Jesus come and lock de door,
And carry de keys away.
Sail, sail, over yonder,
And view de promised land.
For Jesus come.
Weep, O Mary, bow low, Martha,
For Jesus come.
Sail, sail, my true believer ;
Sail, sail over yonder ;
Mary bow low, Martha, bow low,
For Jesus come and lock de door
And carry de keys away
