As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol way
And who shall wear the robe & crown
Good Lord show me the way
O mothers let’s go down
Lets go down, Come on down
Come on mothers lets go down
Down in the river to pray
Chorus
O fathers let’s go down
Let’s go down, Come on down
Come on fathers let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
Chorus
O sisters let’s go down
Lets go down, Come on down
Come on sisters lets 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 people let’s go down
Let’s go down, Come on down
Come on people let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
Chorus
