Go Down Moses by Harry Burleigh Lyrics

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

[Chorus]
Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell ole Pharaoh
To let my people go

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

[Chorus]
Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell ole Pharaoh
To let my people go!
