When Israel was in Egypt’s land
(Let my people go)
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
(Let my people go)

The Lord told Moses what to do
(Let my people go)
Lead the children of Israel through
(Let my people go)

[Chorus]

Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh
“Let my people go”

“Listen up Pharaoh!” bold Moses said
(Let my people go)
“If not God will smite your first born dead"
(Let my people go)

No more in bondage shall they toil
(Let my people go)
Let them come out with Egypt’s spoil”
(Let my people go)

[Chorus x2)

When Israel was in Egypt’s land
(Let my people go)
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
(Let my people go)

The Lord told Moses what to do
(Let my people go)
Lead the children of Israel through
(Let my people go)

When they reached the other shore
(Let my people go)
They sang a song of triumph
(Let my people go)

Mi kamocha ne'dar bakodesh;
Nora tehillot, oseh pheleh.
