Down to the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord show me the way
Oh sisters let’s go down
Let’s go down come on down
Oh sisters let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord show me the way
Oh brothers let’s go down
Let’s go down come on down
Come on brothers let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord show me the way
Oh fathers let’s go down
Let’s go down come on down
Come on fathers let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord show me the way
Oh mothers let’s go down
Come on down don’t you want to go down
Come on mothers let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord show me the way
Oh sinners let’s go down
Let’s go down come on down
Oh sinners let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord show me the way
