Put 'Em in a Basket Mary Rice Hopkins Dancing In the Desert - Mary Rice Hopkins
I put ‘em in a basket and floated him down
The river Nile
I put ‘em in a basket and hope he’d be found
And after a while
The princess will find him cause I know it’s best
My God will take care of the rest
Giving up my baby is hard I confess
But baby I love you so
Baby gotta let you go go go
Gotta let you go go go
Gotta let you go go go
Gotta let you go go go

I put ‘em in a basket to hide him from the king
Cause the king he was wicked
I put ‘em in a basket and hope he’d be seen
Cause I knew he was crooked
The princess will find him
Cause I know it’s best
My God will take care of the rest
But giving up my baby is hard I confess
Baby, I love you so
Baby gotta let you go go go
Gotta let you go go go
Gotta let you go go go
Gotta let you go go go

I put ‘em in a basket
He’s floating along
His name will be Moses
I put him in a basket
He’ll grow up strong
Though life won’t be roses
God will use him
Cause I know it’s best
Sometimes he’ll be put to the test
But giving up my baby is hard I confess
Baby I love you so
Baby gotta let you go
Baby I love you so
Baby gotta let you
Baby gotta let you
Baby gotta let you go
