Go Down, Moses

When Israel was in Egypt's land

Let my people go

Oppressed so hard they could not stand

Let my people go

Thus said the Lord, bold Moses said:

"Let my people go

If not, I'll smite your firstborn dead

Let my people go"

Go down, Moses

Way down in Egypt land

Tell ol' pharaoh

To let my people go

No more shall they

In bondage toll

Let my people go

Let them come out

With Egypt's spoil

Let my people go

As Israel stood

By the water side

Let my people go

At the command of God

It did divide

Mm, let 'em go

You better go down

Go down, Moses

Go way down in Egypt land

Tell ol' pharaoh

To let my people go

Oh, Moses, the cloud shall clear away

Let my people go

A fire by night, and shade by day

Oh, let 'em go

Oh let us all from bondage, flee

Let my people go

And let us all, in Christ, be free

Oh, let 'em go

You better go down

Go down, Moses

Go way down in Egypt

Tell ol'

Tell ol' pharaoh to let my people go

Said go down, Moses

Way down in Egypt land

Tell ol' pharaoh

To let my people go

Let 'em go

Let 'em go, mm

Let my people go

Tell pharaoh

Let my people, let 'em go

Let 'em go

Let 'em go

Let my people go, ooh

Oh, go down

Go down, Moses

Let my people go
