Pete Seeger — Go Down Moses lyrics

Lyrics

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 Pharaoh
Let my people go
Thus said the Lord, bold Moses said
Let my people go
If not I’ll strike your firstborn dead
Let my people go
Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell Pharaoh
Let my people go
Lord told Moses what to do
Let my people go
Let those Hebrew children through
Let my people go
Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell Pharaoh
Let my people go
