Go Down Moses lyrics

[Intro]
Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh to
Let my people go

[Verse 1]
Now when Israel was in Egypt land
Let my people go
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people go

[Chorus]
So the Lord said
"Go down (Go down), Moses (Moses)
Way (Way) down (Down) in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaohs to let my people go" (Let my people go)

[Verse 2]
So Moses went to Egypt land
Let my people go
He made old Pharaoh understand
Let my people go

[Chorus]
Yes, the Lord said
"Go down (Go down), Moses (Moses)
Way (Way) down (Down) in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaohs to let my people go"
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Thus spoke the Lord, bold Moses said
"Let my people go," mm
"If not, I'll smite your firstborn dead" (Let my people go)

[Chorus]
'Cause the Lord said
"Go down (Go down), Moses (Moses)
Way (Way) down (Down) in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaohs to let my people go" (Let my people go)

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh to
Let my people go
