"Go Down Moses" Lyrics

*When written betwin [ ], it's sang by a chorus

[*Go down Moses way down in Egypt land
Tell all Pharaohs to let My people go]

Now, when Israel was in Egypt land
[Let My people go]
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
[Let My people go]

So the Lord said,
"Go down [Go down!], Moses [Moses!]
Way [way!] down [down!] in Egypt land
Tell all Pharaohs to let My people go [let My people go]"

So Moses went to Egypt land
[Let My people go]
He made all Pharaohs understand
[Let My people go]

Yes The Lord said,
"Go down [Go down!], Moses [Moses!]
Way [way!] down [down!] in Egypt land
Tell all Pharaohs to let My people go [let My people go]"

Thus spoke the Lord, bold Moses said
[Let My people go]
"If not I'll smite, your firstborns dead"
[Let My people go]

Cause, the Lord said,
"Go down [Go down!], Moses [Moses!]
Way [way!] down [down!] in Egypt land
Tell all Pharaohs [to let My people go]"

*Instrumental break*

[Way down in Egypt land
Tell all Pharaohs to let My people go]
