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.

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 brothers, 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

As I went down in the river to pray

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

Down in the river to pray.
