Down to the River to Pray Lyrics

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!
O sisters let′s go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O 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!
O 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!
O fathers let′s go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O 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!
O mothers let's go down,
Let′s go 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!
O sinners let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O 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!
