National Poetry Month: Let My People Go!

It's after sundown! Happy Pesach!

So, here's a song for today's poetry entry.

When Israel was in Egypt land,
Let my people go!
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go!

Go down, Moses, way down in Egpyt land
Tell old Pharoah, to let my people go!

Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said,
Let my people go!
If not I'll smite your firstborn dead,
Let my people go!

Go down, Moses, way down in Egpyt land
Tell old Pharoah, to let my people go!

No more shall they in bondage toil,
Let my people go!
Let them come out with Egypt's spoil,
Le my people go!

Go down, Moses, way down in Egpyt land
Tell old Pharoah, to let my people go!

Here's one of my favorite videos of the song, during the writer's strike:
