Down To The River To Pray Lyrics - Smokey River Boys

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 !
