"Pharaoh" lyrics

"Pharaoh"

Well, the Lord sent Moses to Pharaoh
Said, Pharaoh, you're to blame
For all the plagues that's coming on your land
And the Lord is gonna cry your name

Then Moses told old Pharaoh
There'll be more terrible woes
My God's a'gonna turn his wrath against you
If you don't let his people go

Yes, Pharaoh, Pharaoh
The Lord's gonna cry your name

Then the flies got so thick down in Egypt
That the people couldn't eat for them
And then the frogs came and got in old Pharaoh's house
They were sent for to torment him

Well, it got so dark they could feel it
Because they disobeyed God
Then the hailstones fell that weighed a ton
And the streams all turned to blood

Yeah, Pharaoh, Pharaoh
The Lord again cried his name

God told his servant Moses
My people must be led
Out of Egypt by the way of the wilderness
And across a sea called Red

Well, he made a road through the Red Sea
And when all his children walked through
Then old Pharaoh defied the Lord and said
Now that's the way I'll cross too

Well, he marched his army on the dry land
And when all the soldiers walked in
Then the good Lord destroyed them all at one time
He rose waters together again

Yeah, Pharaoh, Pharaoh, the Lord is gonna cry your name
