Down to the River to Pray Lyrics
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying 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 to the river to pray
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying 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
Come on brothers, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ 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 to the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way
O mothers let’s go down
Come on down, don’t you wanna go down?
Come on mothers, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ 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 to the river to pray
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way
