Nat King Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »

Way down in Egypt land
Tell all pharaohs to
Let my people go!

When Israel was in Egypt land
Let my people go!

Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people go!

So the god seyeth: 'go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land 
Tell all pharaohs to
Let my people go!'

So Moses went to Egypt land
Let my people go!

He made all pharaohs understand
Let my people go!
Yes the lord said 'go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land 
Tell all pharaohs to
Let my people go!'

Thus spoke the lord, bold Moses said:
Let my people go!
'if not I'll smite, your firstborn's dead'
Let my people go!

God-the lord said 'go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt land 
Tell all pharaohs to
Let my people go!'

Tell all pharaohs 
To
Let my people go

    This and many sites list the lyrics as “tell all pharaohs to let my people go. However this seems to be a widespread mishearing of “Tell old Pharaoh…” or “Tell ole Pharaoh…” The bible story referred to involves one specific pharaoh.
