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 prayAs 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 prayAs 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 prayAs 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 prayAs 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 prayAs 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!
