Go Down, Moses Lyrics

Pete Seeger Go Down, Moses

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

[Chorus]
Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell Pharaoh
Let my people go

[Verse 2]
Thus said the Lord, bold Moses said
Let my people go
If not I'll strike your firstborn dead
Let my people go

[Chorus]
Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell Pharaoh
Let my people go

[Verse 3]
Lord told Moses what to do
Let my people go
Let those Hebrew children through
Let my people go

[Chorus]
Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell Pharaoh
Let my people go
