Live 17 Nov 2006 version
Well if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
Mary wore three links of chain
On every link was Jesus' name
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
One of these nights 'bout 12 o'clock
This whole world is gonna rock
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Smote the water with a two by four
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
Old Mr. Satan he got mad
Missed that soul that he thought he had
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
Brothers and sisters don't you cry
There'll be better times by and by
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
"No more water, but fire next time"
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
(O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn) Sing it!
(O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn) Sing it!
(Pharaoh's army got drownded)
(O Mary don't you weep)
(O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn)
(O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn)
(Pharaoh's army got drownded)
(O Mary don't you weep)
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep
O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn
(O Mary don't you weep, don't you mourn)
Pharaoh's army got drownded
Oooooooh, Mary don't you weep
Thank you! Sam Bardfeld on fiddle!
The above lyrics are for the live 17 Nov 2006 performance of O MARY DON'T YOU WEEP at Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, during The Seeger Sessions Tour. The live 17 Nov 2006 version of O MARY DON'T YOU WEEP was released on the Live In Dublin album and home video in 2007.
At the end of the Seeger Sessions Tour, the three-night stand at Point Theater in Dublin, Ireland, (17-18-19 Nov 2006) was filmed with nine High Definition cameras. A selection of 23 songs from these three nights was officially released on 05 Jun 2007 on the Live In Dublin album and home video, credited to "Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band". "Seeger" was dropped from the band's name for this release, apparently due to the fact that many of the songs are Springsteen originals from his earlier records, or covers that are not related to Pete Seeger.
Live In Dublin is available in four formats: 2-CD set, standard DVD, 2-CD/1-DVD combo set, and Blu-ray disc.
The album charted in several countries, but only made it to #1 in Ireland.
| Country | Chart | Peak position |
| Australia | 40 | |
| Canada | 31 | |
| Denmark | 5 | |
| Ireland | 1 | |

| New Zealand | 14 | |
| Spain | 3 | |
| Sweden | 2 | |
| The Netherlands | 4 | |
| UK | 21 | |
| USA | Billboard 200 | 23 |
The video was edited by Emmy- and Grammy-winner Thom Zimny, with audio mixed by Bob Clearmountain (including 5.1 surround) and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
