Pharaoh

Pharaoh

(Sung to the Tune of Day-O-Banana Boat Song)

Gilbert Gonzalez

 

Pharaoh, Pharaoh

Moses come, let his people go home

Pharaoh, Pharaoh

Moses come, let his people go home

 

Hebrews work hard all day long

Moses come, let his people go home

God says slavery very wrong

Moses come, let his people go home

 

Moses says to Pharaoh “Let people go!”

Moses come, let his people go home

Pharaoh says to Moses “No, no, no!”

Moses come, let his people go home

 

One plague, two plague, three plague, four

Moses come, let his people go home

God sends to Egypt six plagues more

Moses come, let his people go home

 

Pharaoh tells Hebrews “Leave this place!”

Moses come, let his people go home

Hebrews all leave, but pharaoh gives chase

Moses come, let his people go home

 

Moses prays and splits the Red Sea

Moses come, let his people go home

Hebrews escape and now they free

Moses come, let his people go home

 

Pharaoh, Pharaoh

Moses come, let his people go home

Pharaoh, Pharaoh

Moses come, let his people go home
