As I went down to the river to pray
Studyin about that good ol' way and who shall wear the robe & crown?
Good Lord show me the way!
O brothers let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O brothers let's go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin 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
Studyin about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good lord show me the way
O mothers lets go down
Let's go down, don't you wanna go down?
Come on mothers lets 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 th robe and crown
Good Lord show me the way
O sinners lets go down
Lets go down, come on down
O sinners lets go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studin about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe & crown?
Good Lord show me the way
