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

When Israel was in Egypt land,
Let my people go.
Oppressed so hard They could not stand,
Let my people go.

Thus spake 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, way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh, To let my people go.
