Pharoh Pharoh Lyrics

Well a burnin' bush told me just the other day,
That I should come over here and stay,
And get God's people out o' Pharoah's hand,
And lead them all to the promised land.

CHORUS: Pharoah, Pharoah
Oh, baby, let my people go.
OOH, AAH, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah (REPEAT)

Well, me and God's people comin' to the Red Sea,
And Pharoah's army comin' after me,
I raised my rod, stuck it in the sand,
And all of God's people walked across dry land. CHORUS

Well, Pharoah's army was a comin' too,
So what do you think that I did do?
I raised my rod and I cleared my throat,
And all of Pharoah's army did the dead man's float! CHORUS

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

it's Louie Louie! sort of. a fine portrayal of a popular rock and roll song into a display of the Book of Exodus. there' s not much more i can offer, except to advise you read the book of exodus. And why hasn't anyone done a recording of this song? i want my Pharoah, Pharoah, gosh darn it!!! by the way, i would like to take this oppurtunity and advise the songwritings of Ivan Freeley. not many, but look them up on songmeanings.net ~canteendave

I absolutly LOVE this song. At my Christian camp we sang it at least 5 times a day and i am like in love with it!!!!! It's so perfect to learn about Moses and his trip to Israel with all of God's people.
