Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh to
Let my people go
[Verse 1]
When Israel was in Egypt's land
Let my people go
Oppress'd so hard they could not stand
Let my people go
[Chorus]
So the Lord said:
“Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh to
Let my people go”
[Verse 2]
So Moses went to Egypt's land
Let my people go
He made old Pharaoh understand
Let my people go
[Chorus]
Yes, the Lord said:
“Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh to
Let my people go”
[Verse 3]
Thus spoke the Lord, bold Moses said
Let my people go
“If not I'll smite your firstborns dead”
Let my people go
[Chorus]
God, the Lord, said:
“Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh to
Let my people go”
[Outro]
Tell old Pharaoh to
Let my people go
