From: Mick Pearce (MCP) I found this on BaptistBoard.com: Up and Down, Up and Down Up and down, up and down On the waters of River Nile, Up and down, up and down The cradle was rocked for a while. By and by, Moses cried, Just as loud as all babies can, And a lovely princess took him for her own Until he became a man. Nothing else so far. Mick |

10 Oct 09 - 06:58 PM (#2743133) Subject: RE: Bye and bye Moses cried. From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Thanks for looking Pearce. Religious songs are not really my area, so I don't have many sources for them. I've searched for various bits of the song on the internet, but still only come up with the reference I found earlier. However, I have emailed the poster on the BaptistBoard forum to see if he can provide any more information. Mick |

From: Mick Pearce (MCP) I received a reply from the poster on the other forum and he doesn't know anything about the origin of the song or a source for it. He did, however, send me the melody, which I give below; maybe it will jog someone's memory.
