Natalie Merchant - Go Down, Moses Lyrics

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
Wet and shakin'
My heart inside me 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 part the muddy water
(Part the muddy water)
Let your people cross over
Go down, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh

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 go part the muddy water
(Part the muddy water)
Let your people cross over
Go down, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh

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
