Go Down, Moses Sheet Music

Go Down, Moses is an African-American spirtual/gospel song thought to have originated in the 19th century. Go Down, Moses probably comes from the slave church tradition. It was first referred to in a letter to the American Missionary Association from the Rev. Mr. Lockwood, dated Sept. 4, 1861.

 Let my people go.

 Let my people go.

 Tell ol´ Pharaoh,
 Let my peoples go.
