As I went down to the river to pray
Studyin 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
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 let's go down
Let's go 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
Studyin' about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and 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
Studin' about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord, show me the way
