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"
