Down to the River to Pray Lyrics

[Chorus]
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord, show me the way

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord, show me the way

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord, show me the way

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord, show me the way

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord, show me the way

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord, show me the way
