Go down, Moses II

LYRICS

GO DOWN, MOSES

Espiritual

1. When Israel was in Egypt land.

Let my people go.

Oppressed so hard they could not stand.

Let my people go.

GO DOWN

MOSES

WAY DOWN IN EGYPT LAND

TELL OLD PHARAOS

TO LET MY PEOPLE GO 

2. So Moses went to Egypt land.

Let my people go.

He made old pharaoh understand.

Let my people go.

3. Thus spoke the Lord, bold Moses said.

Let my people go.

If not I'll smite your first born dead..

Let my people go.

Go down, Moses

GO DOWN, MOSES

Let my people go.

Oppressed so hard they could not stand.

Let my people go.

GO DOWN

WAY DOWN IN EGYPT LAND

2. No more shall they in bondage toil.

Let my people go.

Let them come out with Egypt's spoil.

Let my people go.

Let my people go.

And wear these slavery chains forlorn.

Let my people go.

CHORUS
