LYRICS FOR "Down to 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
O sisters let's go down
Let's go 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 old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord
O brothers let's go down
Let's go 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
O fathers let's go down
Let's go down
O 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
O mothers let's go down
Don't you want to 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
O sinners let's go down
Let's go down
O 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
