Go Up Moses

Go up Moses

You been down too long

Go up Moses

Sing your freedom song

Go up Moses

You been down too long

Go up Moses

Sing your freedom song

Blind man sees that things are wrong

Deaf man hears some funny changes

(Go up Moses)

Boss man hears the people's song

(You been down too long)

Coats his lies and rearranges

(Go up Moses)

(Sing your freedom song)

Go up Moses

You been down too long

Go up Moses

Sing your freedom song

Ain't no love and ain't no hate

(Go up Moses)

Only dollars got the weight

(You been down too long)

Lift your head and pass the plate

(Go up Moses)

This time, just don't pay the freight

(Sing your freedom song)

Am I clear this morning, y'all?

(Go up Moses)

Am I clear this morning, y'all?

Am I clear this morning, y'all?

(You been down too long)

Am I clear this morning, y'all?

(Go up Moses)

Am I clear this morning, y'all?

Am I clear this morning, y'all?

(Sing your freedom song)

Go up Moses

You been down too long

Go up Moses

(Go up Moses)

Sing your freedom song

Go up Moses

(You been down too long)

You been down too long

You been down too long

My people, let Pharaoh go

You don't need him, you don't need his tricks

You don't need his trinkets

(All you have to do is let him go, let him go)

Let Pharaoh go

Pharaoh doesn't want you, but he needs you (Let Pharaoh go)

(Just wake up tomorrow morning and say)

My people, let Pharaoh go

(Go up Moses)

Without you, there is no Pharaoh

So all you have to do to let him go is let him go

Just wake up tomorrow morning and say (Let him go)

(You have to let him go)

Bye (You'll never let me go)

Pharaoh (Let Pharaoh go)

Honey (Cut him loose)

(Go up Moses)

You been down too long (Go up Moses)

(You been down too long)

You been down too long

(Sing your freedom song) Bye, Pharaoh

You been down too long

(Go up Moses)

You been down too long (Go up Moses)

(Sing your freedom song)

Am I clear? Am I clear? (You been down too long)

Am I clear this morning, y'all?
