[Gm] [C] Meanwhile, back [Bb] at [A] Jacob's Ranch in Canaan, [Dm] we were underfed for the famine had spread, so the brothers went south to buy some bread.
Down, down, down to Egypt, down, down, down, down, down, down, where all the [Gm] food [Dm] is found.
Down, down, down to Egypt, down, down, down, down, [C] down, [E] down, where [A] pyramids found.
[Gm] And then I think we'll [Dm] see the [A] sting, we'll stop at Putt for food and bread.
[Db] We'll cross the [Dm] Nile in single [A] file and give the king our broadest smile.
[Dm] Down, down, down to Egypt, down, down, down, down, down, down, to Egypt all the way down.
[A]
Hi-oh, goodbye-oh, and off we go to [F] Pharaoh.
[Dm] Down, down, down to Egypt, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, to Egypt, [D] down, down, down.
Joe saw his brothers but decided to wait and reveal himself at a later date.
When the brothers walked up, they didn't [Dm] have a clue that the governor was you-know-who.
I'm scared.
I can hardly walk.
Just let me handle all the talk.
Oh, great vice-pharaoh of the land, we kiss the ground on which you stand.
Your radiance lights the morning sky, and [Ab] you seem like a [D] real swell guy.
We come before you on our knees, we humbly ask you, pretty please, just make your point and make it plain.
Could [G] we swap silver [D] for some grain?
It seems to me extremely weird that each one of you wears a beard.
Those whiskers are a cheap disguise.
I think you're undercover [A] spies.
[D] Say what?
Not as if bushy beard was made from five full years without a blade.
Oh, no, great pharaoh number two, we'd never try to spy on you.
We look alike.
We're brothers, see?
[B] We're one [Eb] big happy family.
[D] Have all the brothers come for grain?
Yes, Joe.
I'd [E] best explain.
There were [D] twelve [E] sons, but not today.
One stayed [Dm] with Dad, one passed away.
I'll release nine of you on bail, [D] but one must stay down here in jail.
When [Dm] you've returned with the other son, I'll believe you and free everyone.
So nine returned, and one was kept, as Joseph turned his back.
[A]
[Dm] Back, back, back, we came in back, back, back.
Back, back, back, we got our bags [A] all packed.
[Gm] We put the sacks on [Dm] camel's [A] backs, and now these boys are making tracks.
[Dm] Back, back, back, we came in back, back, back.
Back, back, [Gm] back, we came in [A] all the way [Dm] back.
Down, down, down to Egypt, down, down, down, down, down, down, where all the [Gm] food [Dm] is found.
Down, down, down to Egypt, down, down, down, down, [C] down, [E] down, where [A] pyramids found.
