Down to the River to Pray

And who shall wear the starry crown
O fathers let's go down
O sinners let's go down
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way
O sisters let's go down
And who shall wear the starry crown
O mothers let's go down, come on down

Good Lord, show me the way
Don't you want to go down
O fathers let's go down

Studying about that good old way
Good Lord, show me the way

As I went down in the river to pray

O sisters let's go down
As I went down in the river to pray
Good Lord, show me the way
As I went down in the river to pray
Come on mothers let's go down

As I went down in the river to pray
Let's go down, come on down
Come on brothers let's go down
O brothers let's go down
Down in the river to pray
