Go down, Moses,
Way down in Egyptland.
Tell old Pharaoh,
Let my people go.
Let my people go.
When Israel was in Egyptland,
Let my people go.
Oppressed so hard they could not stand.
Let my people go.

Go down, Moses,
Way down in Egyptland.
Tell old Pharaoh,
Let my people go.
Let my people go.
Thus spoke 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 Egyptland.
Tell old Pharaoh,
Let my people go.
Tell old Pharaoh,
Let my people go.
