[Chorus]
Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oh baby let my people go!
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oh baby let my people go!
[Verse 1]
Well, the burning bush told me just the other day
That I should come over here and say
Got to get my people out of Pharaoh's hand
And lead them on over to the Promised Land
[Chorus]
Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oh baby let my people go!
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oh baby let my people go!
[Verse 2]
Well, all of God's people came to the Red Sea
With Pharaoh's army coming after me
I raised my rod, stuck it in the sand
And all of God's people walked across dry land
[Chorus]
Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oh baby let my people go!
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oh baby let my people go!
[Verse 3]
Well, all of Pharaoh's army was coming too
So what do you think that I did do?
I raised my rod and cleared my throat
And all of Pharaoh's army did the dead man's float
[Chorus]
Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oh babe you shoulda let us go!
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oh babe you shoulda let us go!
[Verse 4]
A few months later we decided to stop
Moses climbed up on the mountaintop
So we pitched out tents and set up our cots
And Moses came back with lots of 'Thou Shalt Nots'
Chorus:
Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oh baby why'd you let us go?
No, no, no
Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oh baby why'd you let us go?
[Verse 5]
Forty years later, it's comin' to an end;
The Promised Land was just around the bend
So Moses climbed up on the mountainside
And after he saw it, ol' Moses died
