Go Down, Moses Lyrics - Natalie Merchant - Natalie Merchant

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 

Where I'm shakin' (?) 

My heart started 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, Moses 

Go down to the city of New Orleans 

City of New Orleans 

Go back to muddy water (?) 

---- 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, yeah 

That's what I'm trying so hard to do 

Oh, yeah 

But it's so hard keeping on without you 

Gone and lost my patience with this hopeless situation 

Oh, 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, Moses 

Go down to the city of New Orleans 

City of New Orleans 

And ---- ---- muddy water 

---- the muddy water 

Just let your people cross over 

Go down, yeah 

Go down 

Oh, Moses, go down 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Oh, go down, Moses 

Moses 

Moses 

Moses! 

Sweet Moses! 

Come on! Come on! Come on 

Yeah, yeah, yeah! 

Sweet Moses! 

Sweet Moses!
