Hey, God told Moses to go down yonder
In Egypt land
Lead my children all away
[?] throw down the rod and lead the children
He got there, way down there in Egypt land
Children is down there, they was slaves
Workin' them all day, all day long
Workin' them children all night long
My God stop says "In the fold"
Great God almighty says: "Don't work no more"

My God stopped and began to try
If that child don't work no more
I got a home with a restin' place
Great God almighty won't be no slave
Great God almighty
My Lord stopped and looked around
All the plague was all around
Great God almighty
My children yell
Lord they workin' all night and day
Great God almighty my God said
Lord walk down to the sea
And the sea gave way
And the children all passed over, Lord
Won't have to cry no more
God knows

[Chorus]
Moses smote the water
And the seas gave way
Brother Moses smote the water
And the children all passed over, Lord
