Go Down Moses
Arlo Guthrie, Traditional
Traditional
When Israel was in Egypt's Land
Let my people go
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people go
Chorus
Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's Land
Tell ol' Pharoah
Let my people go
Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said
Let my people go
If not, I'll smite your first-born dead
Let my people go
Chorus
No more shall they in bondage toil
Let my people go
Let them come out with Egypt's spoil
Let my people go
Chorus
We need not always weep and mourn
Let my people go
And wear these slavery chains forlorn
Let my people go
Chorus
Your foes shall not before you stand
Let my people go
And you'll possess fair Canaan's land
Let my people go
Chorus
O let us all from bondage flee
Let my people go
And let us all in Christ be free
Let my people go
Chorus
