When Israel was in Egypt's land Let my people go Oppressed so hard they could not stand Let my people go Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land Tell old Pharaoh, Let my people go So Moses went to Egypt's land Let my people go To make old Pharaoh understand Let my people go Thus spake the Lord, bold Moses said "Let my people go If not, I'll strike your first born dead "Let my people go"
