Go up Moses

Go up, Moses, you been down too long

Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song

Go up, Moses, you been down too long

Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song

Blind man sees that things are wrong

Deaf man hears some funny changes

Boss man hears the people's song

Coats his lies and rearranges

Go up, Moses, you been down too long

Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song

Ain't no love and ain't no hate

Only dollars got the weight

Lift your heads and pass the plate

Sit back, just don't pay the freight

Am I clear this morning y'all

Am I clear this morning y'all

Am I clear this morning y'all

Am I clear this morning y'all

Am I clear this morning y'all

Am I clear this morning y'all

Go up, Moses, you been down too long

Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song

Go up, Moses

You been down too long

You been down too long

You been down too long

My people, let pharaoh go

You don't need him; you don't need his tricks, you don't need his trinkets

Let pharaoh go

Pharaoh doesn't want, but he needs you

My people, let pharaoh go

Without you there is no pharaoh

So all you have to do to let him go is to let him go

Just wake up tomorrow morning and say

Bye, pharaoh... Honey

You been down too long

You been down too long....

Go up, Moses, you been down too long

Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song
