<poem>
When Israel was in Egypt's lan',
Let my people go.
Oppress'd so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go.


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


:Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said,
Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said,
:Let my people go.
Let my people go.
:If not, I'll smite your first born dead,
If not, I'll smite your first born dead,
:Let my people go.
Let my people go.


:Go down, Moses,
Go down, Moses,
:'Way down in Egypt's lan',
'Way down in Egypt's lan',
:Tell ole Pharah to let my people go.
Tell ole Pharah to let my people go.
