Go Down, Moses
When Israel was in Egypt´s land,
Let my people go.
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go.

´Way down in Egypt´s land.
Tell ole Pharaoh,
Let my people go.

Let my people go.

Let my people go.

Let my people go.
Let them come out with Egypt´s spoil,
Let my people go.

When Israel out of Egypt came,
Let my people go.
And left the proud oppressive land,
Let my people go.

Let my people go.
When Moses led the Israelites,
Let my people go.

The Lord told Moses what to do,
Let my people go.
To lead the children of Israel thro´,

Let my people go.
By God´s command it did divide,

When they reached the other shore,
Let my people go.
They sang a song of triumph o´er,
Let my people go.
