Go Down, Moses | Text of the Poem
Go down, Moses ’Way down in Egypt land, Tell ole Pharaoh, To let my people go. When Israel was in Egypt’s land; 5 Let my people go, Oppressed so hard they could not stand, Let my people go. “Thus spoke the Lord,” bold Moses said; Let my people go, 10 If not I’ll smite your first born dead, Let my people go.
