Go down, Moses.

1. When Israel was in Egypt's land:
     Let my people go,
   Oppress'd so hard they could not stand,
     Let my people go.
   Go down, Moses,
     Way down in Egypt land,
   Tell ole Pharoh,
     Let my people go.

2. Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said,
     Let my people go;
   If not I'll smite your first-born dead,
     Let my people go.
       Go down, Moses, &c.

3. No more shall they in bondage toil,
     Let my people go;
   Let them come out with Egypt's spoil,
     Let my people go.
       Go down, Moses, &c.
