Liedtext: Down to the river to pray

1. 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 in the river to pray

2. 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

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 pray

3. 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 in the river to pray

4. As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ol′ way

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 in the river to pray

5. As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ol′ way
And who shall wear the starry crown?

Down in the river to pray
