Go Down Moses
Moving on moving on,
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
Just hold it back and
Keep moving on.
Keeping on, keeping on,
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
Just hold it back and
Keep moving on.
But it's so hard to keep moving on.
Pushing on pushing on,
Isn't that what everybody tells me I've got to do?
But it's so hard pushing on without you.
Every morning waking in a fever wet and shaking.
My heart inside me pounding,
Muddy water all around me.
Cold shocked and speechless
Can anybody reach us?
And why, oh, God why?
Go down, go down, Moses.
Go down to the city of New Orleans.
Go part the muddy water,
And let your people cross over.
Go down.
Pushing on, pushing on,
Isn't that, that's what I've tried so hard to do?
I'm holding back and I'm,
I'm pushing on.
Keeping on, keeping on.
That's what I'm trying so hard to do.
But it's so hard pushing on without you.
Gone and lost my patience with this hopeless situation.
Oh yeah, I'm alive,
The lonely sole survivor.
Spared me for some reason,
So I'm picking up the pieces.
But why, oh, God why?
Go down, go down, Moses.
Go down to the city of New Orleans.
Go part the muddy water,
And let your people cross over.
Go down.
