Down to the River to Pray Songtext
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol′ 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 ol' 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 ol′ 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 ol′ 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 wanna 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 ol′ 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 ol′ way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way
Studying about that good ol′ 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 ol' 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 ol′ 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 ol′ 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 wanna 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 ol′ way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way

Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol′ way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way
