The River

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good old way

And who shall wear a starry crown

Good Lord show me the way

Oh sisters, let's go down

Let's go down, come on down

Oh sisters, let's go down

Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good old way

And who shall wear the robe and crown

Good Lord show me the way

Oh 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

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

Oh fathers, let's go down

Let's go down, come on down,

Oh fathers, let's go down,

Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good old way

And who shall wear the robe and crown

Good Lord show me the way

Oh mothers, let's go down

Let's go down,

Don't you wanna go down,

Come on mothers, let's go down

Down in the river to pray

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

Oh sinners let's go down

Let's go down, come on down

Oh sinners, let's go down,

Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good old way

And who shall wear the robe and crown

Good lord show me the way
