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 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 mothers let's go down

Let's go down, come on 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 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
