In the Bob Marley song Go, tell it on the mountain ---the words are different from the original spiritual?

Question

Do any of the othe variations of the song include

Who's that yonder dressed in white?
Must be a child of and Isrealite.

Who's that yonder dressed in red?
Must be the Children that Moses led.

Or is that part original to Bob Marley's version only?

Other artists, besides Bob Marley , who have recorded the song (chiefly on either Christmas-themed music albums or collections of spirituals or folk songs) include:

Peter, Paul and Mary
Mahalia Jackson
Fred Hammond
Kirk Franklin
Candi Staton
Simon & Garfunkel
Frank Sinatra & Bing Crosby
James Taylor
Cece Winans
Anne Murray
Vanessa L. Williams
Jewel

Answer 2

wow, that's a lot of searching you're asking us to do!

here's the link for the Bob Marley lyrics:

you can google the others and check their lyrics by googling:

lyrics Bob Marley Go Tell It on the Mountain

(or the other artist names)

I would imagine those lyrics are probably originally Marley's

They are definitely not in the classic hymn

Good luck!
