Down to the River to Pray Songtext
von Alison Krauss & Union Station

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,

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

O mothers let's 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

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!
