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 !
Descer Ao Rio Para Rezar
Como eu desci ao rio para orar
Estudei sobre esse bom velho caminho
E quem deve vestir a coroa estrelada
Bom senhor, mostre-me o caminho!
Ó irmãs vamos descer,
Vamos descer, ir para baixo,
Ó irmãs vamos descer,
Descer ao rio para orar.
Como eu desci ao rio para orar
Estudei sobre esse bom velho caminho
E quem deve vestir o roupão e coroa
Bom senhor, mostre-me o caminho!
Ó irmãos vamos descer,
Vamos descer, ir para baixo,
Ó irmãos vamos descer,
Descer ao rio para orar.
Como eu desci ao rio para orar
Estudei sobre esse bom velho caminho
E quem deve vestir o roupão e coroa
Bom senhor, mostre-me o caminho!
O pai vamos descer,
Vamos descer, ir para baixo,
O pai vamos descer,
Descer ao rio para orar.
Como eu desci ao rio para orar
Estudei sobre esse bom velho caminho
E quem deve vestir o roupão e coroa
Bom senhor, mostre-me o caminho!
Ó mães vamos descer,
Vamos descer, vocês não querem descer,
Vamos mães vamos descer,
Descer ao rio para orar.
Como eu desci ao rio para orar
Estudei sobre esse bom velho caminho
E quem deve vestir o roupão e coroa
Bom senhor, mostre-me o caminho!
O pecadores vamos descer,
Vamos descer, ir para baixo,
O pecadores vamos descer,
Descer ao rio para orar.
Como eu desci ao rio para orar
Estudei sobre esse bom velho caminho
E quem deve vestir o roupão e coroa
Bom senhor, mostre-me o caminho
