As I went down to 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 to the river to pray
O sisters, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sisters, let's go down
Down to the river to pray
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river to pray
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river to pray
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river to pray
Down to the river
Down to the river
Down to the river to pray
As I went down to 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
O brothers, let's go down
Down to the river to pray
O brothers, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O brothers, let's go down
Down to the river to pray
As I went down to 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 fathers, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O fathers, let's go down
Down to the river to pray
O mothers, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O mothers, let's go down
Down to the river to pray
O sinners, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sinners, let's go down
Down to the river to pray
O sinners, let's go down
O come on down, just as you are
Come on down
Down to the river to pray
