Chorus
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 pray
[chorus]
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]
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]
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]
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]
