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,
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 !
