Lyrics

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry 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
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and 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
Studying 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, come on down
O mothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray
Let's go down, let's go down
Let's go down, let's go down
Let's go down, let's go down
Let's go down, let's go down
As we went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show us 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
O brothers, let's go down
Come on down, don't you wanna go down?
Come on brothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray
Down in the river to pray
Down in the river to pray
