lyrics

As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ole way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

Oh sisters, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh sisters, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray

As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ole way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way

Oh brothers, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh brothers, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray

As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ole way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

Oh fathers, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh fathers, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray

As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ole way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way

Oh mothers, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh mothers, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray

As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ole way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

Oh sinners, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh sinners, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray
