When Israel was in Egypt 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 old Pharao , let my people go. Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said- let my people go. If not I'll strike your first born dead- let my people go. God told Moses what to do- let my people go. To get those Hebrew children through- let my people go.
