Go Down, Moses

Louis Armstrong

(Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell all Pharaohs to
Let my people go)

When Israel was in Egypt land
Let my people go

Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people go

So God sayeth: "Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell all Pharaohs to
Let my people go"

So Moses went to Egypt land
Let my people go

He made all Pharaohs understand
Let my people go
Yes, the Lord said, "Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell all Pharaohs to
Let my people go"

Thus spoke the Lord
Bold Moses said
"Let my people go
If not, I'll smite your firstborn dead
Let my people go"

God, the Lord said, "Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell all Pharaohs to
Let my people go"

Tell all Pharaohs
To
Let my people go
