GO DOWN, MOSES |
| Go down, Moses, |
| Way down in Egyptaland; |
| Tell old Pharaoh |
| To let my people go. |
| When Israel was in Egypt's Land, |
| Let my people go. |
| Oppressed so hard they could not stand, |
| "Let my people go." |
| "Thus saith the Lord," bold Moses said, |
| "Let my people go: |
| If not I'll mite you first born dead, |
| Let my people go." |
| "No more shall they in bondage toil, |
| Let my people go; |
| Let them come out with Egypt's spoil, |
| Let my people go." |
| The Lord to Moses what to do, |
| Let my people go; |
| To lead the children of Israel through, |
| Let my people go. |
| Go down, Moses, |
| Way down in Egyptland; |
| Tell old Pharaoh, |
| "Let my people go." |
