Lyrics of 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

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, 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

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
