Go Down Moses

Moving on moving on
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
Just hold it back and keep moving on.

Pushing on pushing on
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
But it's so hard to keep pushing on.

I'm moving on moving on
Isn't that what everybody tells me I gotta do?
But it's so hard moving 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't 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
Let your people cross over.

Go down!

I'm moving on moving on
That's what I'm trying to do
Just holding back and moving on.

Keeping on keeping on
That's what I'm trying so hard to do
But it's so hard keeping on without you.

Gone and lost my patience with this hopeless situation
Yeah I'm alive I'm a 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
Let your people cross over.

Go down!
