Let my people go



Go down, Moses,
Way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh
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, Moses,
Way down to Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh
To let my people go

 

So Moses went to Egypt land
(Let my people go)
He made old Pharaoh understand
(Let my people go)

Yes, the Lord said:
Go down, Moses,
way down to Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh
To let my people go

 

Thus spoke the Lord, bold Moses said,
(Let my people go)
If not I’ll smite your firstborn dead
(Let my people go)

‘Cause the Lord said:
Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh
To let my people go
