[Verse 1]
Moving on, moving on
Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?
Just hold it back and keep moving on

[Verse 2]
Pushing on, pushing on
Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?
But it’s so hard to keep pushing on

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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?

[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 5]
I’m moving on, moving on
That’s what I’m trying to do
Just holding back and moving on

[Verse 7]
Keeping on, keeping on
That’s what I’m trying so hard to do
But it’s so hard keeping on without you

[Verse 8]
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?

[Chorus]
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!
