Down To The River To Pray Lyrics - Alison Krauss & Union Station

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 robe and crown 

Good Lord, show me the way! 

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 

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 fathers, let's go down 

Let's go down, come on 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, show me the way! 

O mothers, let's go down 

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, show me the way! 

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 

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!
