Let My People Go
Original Key: F Minor MP3
An orchestral "Fiddler On The Roof"-style arrangement of the traditional Jewish spiritual Let My People Go. About the Jewish people's freedom from slavery in Egypt, this song is commonly used during Passover seder, and commonly used as a metaphor for the enslavement and oppression of Africans in America.
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 Pharoah,
Let my people go!
Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said,
Let my people go!
If not I'll smite your firstborn dead,
Let my people go!
Refrain
No more shall they in bondage toil,
Let my people go!
Let them come out with Egypts spoil,
Let my people go!
Refrain
The Lord told Moses what to do,
Let my people go!
To lead the Hebrew children through,
Let my people go!
Refrain
