Down to the River to Pray
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear a starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

O brother, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O brother, let's go down
Down to the river to pray

As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear a starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

Oh sister, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
Oh sister, let's go down
Down to the river to pray

As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear a starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh fathers, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
Oh fathers, let's go down
Down to the river to pray

As I wеnt down to the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear a starry crown
Good Lord, show mе the way

Oh mothers, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
Oh mothers, let's go down
Down to the river to pray

As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear a 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 to the river to pray
