GO DOWN MOSES Let My People Go Spiritual Lyrics Words Sing along song Tubman Underground Railroad Passover
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
2. "Thus saith the Lord," bold Moses said,
let my people go;
"if not, I'll smite your firstborn dead,"
let my people go.
Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh
Let my people go
3. No more shall they in bondage toil,
let my people go;
let them come out with Egypt's spoil,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh
Let my people go
4 We need not always weep and mourn,
let my people go;
and wear those slavery chains forlorn,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh
Let my people go
5 Come, Moses, you will not get lost,
let my people go;
stretch out your rod and come across,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh
Let my people go
6 As Israel stood by the water's side,
let my people go;
at God's command it did divide,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh
Let my people go

The lyrics of the song represent liberation of the ancient Jewish people from Egyptian slavery. The same phrase "Let my people go" was used
Although usually thought of as a spiritual, the earliest recorded use of the song was as a rallying anthem for the Contrabands at Fort Monroe sometime before July 1862. "Oh! Let My People Go: The Song of the Contrabands"

The Lord, by Moses, to Pharaoh said: Oh! let my people go
If not, I'll smite your first-born dead—Oh! let my people go
Oh! go down, Moses
Away down to Egypt's land
And tell King Pharaoh
To let my people go

Harriet Tubman said she used "Go Down Moses" as one of two code songs fugitive slaves used to communicate when fleeing Maryland.
