Louis Armstrong Go Down Moses song lyrics

Go down, Moses!

Way down in Egypt's land.

Tell ol' pharao:

To let my people go!

Now, when Israel was in Egypt's land (Let my people go!)

oppressed so hard they could not stand (Let my people go!)

So the Lord said: Go down, (Go down!) Moses (Moses!)

Way (Way!) down (Down!) in Egypt's land.

Tell ol' pharao

to let my people go! (Let my People go!)

So Moses went to Egypt's land. Let my people go!

He made ol' pharao understand.

Let my people go!

Yes, the Lord said: Go down (Go down!) Moses (Moses!)

Way (Way!) down (Down!) in Egypt's land.

Tell ol' pharao to let my people go!

Let my people go!

Thus, spoke the Lord ol' Moses said:

(Let my people go!)

I've not outsmite yo' face bone dead.

Let my people go!

'Cause the Lord said:

Go down, (Go down!) Moses (Moses!)

Way (Way!) down (Down!) in Egypt's land.

Tell ol' pharao to let my people go!

Way down in Egypt's land.

Tell ol' pharao

To let my people go!
