Go Down, Moses

Go Down, Moses Lyrics

Movin' on, movin' on
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
Just hold it back and keep movin' on
Keep movin' on
Pushin' on, pushin' on
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
But it's so hard
To keep pushin' on
Pushin' on

I'm movin' on, movin' on
Isn't that what everybody tells me I gotta do?
Oh, yeah
But it's so hard movin' on without you

Every mornin' wakin' in a fever
--- shakin'
My heart starts pounding (?)
---- water all around me
---- shocked and speechless, can anybody reach us?
And why?
Oh, God, why?

Go down, go down, Moses
Go down, Moses
Go down to the city of the ----
City of the ----
Go back to muddy water
The muddy water
Let your people cross over
Go down, yeah

I'm movin' on, movin' on
Keep movin'' on
That's what I'm tryin' to do
Just holding back and...movin' on
Keeping on, keeping on
That's what I'm trying so hard to do
Oh, yeah
But it's so hard keeping on without you

---- lost my patience with this hopeless situation
Oh, yeah
I'm alive
I'm a lonely sole survivor
---- for some reason, so I'm picking up the pieces
But why?
Oh, God, why?

Go down, go down, Moses
Go down, Moses
Go down to the city of New Orleans
City of the New Orleans
And ---- the muddy water
---- the muddy water
Just let your people cross over
Go down, yeah

Go down
---- just go down
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, go down, Moses
Moses
Moses
Moses
Sweet Moses
Come on, come on, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sweet Moses
Sweet Moses
