[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

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

Go down, Moses

Tell ole Pharaoh
To let my people go!

'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

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